The task of additional reactive power compensation (also known as voltage compensation) is assigned to compensating devices: [7] passive (either permanently connected or switched) sinks of reactive power (e.g., shunt reactors that are similar to transformers in construction, with a single winding and iron core [9]).
In Electrical Engineering, a static VAR compensator (SVC) is a set of electrical devices for providing fast-acting reactive power on high-voltage electricity transmission networks. [1] [2] SVCs are part of the flexible AC transmission system [3] [4] device family, regulating voltage, power factor, harmonics and stabilizing the system. A static ...
The STATCOM also provides better reactive power support at low AC voltages than an SVC, since the reactive power from a STATCOM decreases linearly with the AC voltage (the current can be maintained at the rated value even down to low AC voltage), as opposed to power being a function of a square of voltage for SVC. [38]
This can lead to a relatively cost-effective solution where the SVC only requires capacitive reactive power, although a disadvantage is that the reactive power output can only be varied in steps. Continuously variable reactive power output is only possible where the SVC contains a TCR or another variable element such as a STATCOM.
The reactive power produced by a capacitor bank is in direct proportion to the square of its terminal voltage, and if the system voltage decreases, the capacitors produce less reactive power, when it is most needed, [2] while if the system voltage increases the capacitors produce more reactive power, which exacerbates the problem. In contrast ...
This feature can provide controllable voltage compensation. [2] In addition, SSSC is able to reverse the power flow by injecting a sufficiently large series reactive compensating voltage. [2] The SSSC consists of a voltage source converter (VSC) connected in series with the transmission line through a transformer.
Typically, dementia is associated with classic symptoms like confusion and memory loss. But new research finds that there could be a less obvious risk factor out there: your cholesterol levels ...
The amplitude and phase angle of the injected voltages are variable, thereby allowing control of the real and reactive power exchange between the dynamic voltage restorer and the distribution system. As the reactive power exchange between the DVR and the distribution system is internally generated by the DVR without the AC passive reactive ...
