  2. Variable shunt reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_shunt_reactor

    A traditional shunt reactor has a fixed rating and is either connected to the power line all the time or switched in and out depending on the load. Recently [1] variable shunt reactors (VSRs) have been developed and introduced on the market. The rating of a VSR can be changed in steps: the maximum regulation range depends on the capability of ...

  3. Switchyard reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switchyard_reactor

    Shunt reactors are used in power systems to counteract the effect of the line parasitic capacitance, thereby stabilizing the system voltage within acceptable limits. [1] The utility of shunt reactors for voltage control on lightly-loaded transmission lines was examined in a 1926 paper presented at the AIEE by Edith Clarke . [ 2 ]

  4. Flexible AC transmission system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible_AC_transmission...

    The goal shunt compensation is to connect a device in parallel with the system that will improve voltage and enable larger power flow. This is traditionally done using shunt capacitors and inductors (reactors), [13] much like Power Factor Correction. The most common shunt compensation device is the Static VAR Compensator (SVC). [14]

  5. Between-group design experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Between-group_design...

    The utilization of the between-group experimental design has several advantages. First, multiple variables, or multiple levels of a variable, can be tested simultaneously, and with enough testing subjects, a large number can be tested. Thus, the inquiry is broadened and extended beyond the effect of one variable (as with within-subject design).

  6. Static synchronous compensator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_synchronous_compensator

    In Electrical Engineering , a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is a shunt-connected, reactive compensation device used on transmission networks. It uses power electronics to form a voltage-source converter that can act as either a source or sink of reactive AC power to an electricity network. It is a member of the FACTS family of devices.

  7. Shunt generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shunt_generator

    Generator separately excited by battery Self exciting generators Series on left, shunt on right. A shunt generator is a type of electric generator in which field winding and armature winding are connected in parallel, and in which the armature supplies both the load current and the field current for the excitation (generator is therefore self excited).

  8. Tryon's Rat Experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tryon's_Rat_Experiment

    The independent variables in his experiment were the parental pairings, the choice of environment and parents for upbringing, and number of rats put through the maze. The dependent variable was the number of errors made by the rats in 19 trials of the maze.

  9. Psychological refractory period - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_refractory...

    Stimulus onset asynchrony, the time that lapses between the presentations of the two stimuli, acts as the independent variable in this paradigm, and the reaction time to the second stimulus acts as the dependent variable. [1] Figure 1. Model of the central bottleneck accounting for the psychological refractory period.
