  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. Simon effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_effect

    Simon wished to see if an alteration of the spatial relationship, relative to the response keys, affected performance. Age was also a probable factor in reaction time. As predicted, the reaction time of the groups increased based on the relative position of the light stimulus (age was not a factor). The reaction time increased by as much as 30% ...

  4. Stimulus onset asynchrony - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulus_onset_asynchrony

    For an example of the application of stimulus-onset asynchrony, see psychological refractory period. Figure 1. Time diagram for a trial in a psychological experiment. The stimulus-onset asynchrony (SOA) between the first presented pattern (S1) and the second stimulus (S2) is manipulated in order to measure an effect on reaction time (RT).

  5. Static VAR compensator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_VAR_compensator

    Typically, an SVC comprises one or more banks of fixed or switched shunt capacitors or reactors, of which at least one bank is switched by thyristors. Elements which may be used to make an SVC typically include: Thyristor-controlled reactor (TCR), where the reactor may be air- or iron-cored; Thyristor-switched capacitor (TSC) Harmonic filter(s)

  6. 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]

  7. 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.

  8. 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 ]

  9. High-voltage direct current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current

    The shunt capacitors are almost always provided with tuning reactors and, where necessary, damping resistors so that they can perform a dual role as harmonic filters. VSCs, on the other hand, can either produce or consume reactive power on demand, with the result that usually no separate shunt capacitors are needed (other than those required ...
