A unified power flow controller (UPFC) is an electrical device for providing fast-acting reactive power compensation on high-voltage electricity transmission networks. It uses a pair of three-phase controllable bridges to produce current that is injected into a transmission line using a series transformer. [ 1 ]
Heavily loaded lines consumed reactive power due to the line's inductance, and as transmission voltage increased throughout the 20th century, the higher voltage supplied capacitive reactive power. As operating a transmission line only at it surge impedance loading (SIL) was not feasible, [2] other means to manage the reactive power was needed.
Capability curves for generators with full converters: D-shape (red), rectangular (green), triangular (blue) The inverter-based resources (like solar photovoltaic (PV) generators, doubly-fed induction generators and full-converter wind generators, also known as "Type 3" and "Type 4" turbines [5]) need to have reactive capabilities in order to contribute to the grid stability, yet their ...
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 ...
These services include reactive power compensation, voltage regulation, flicker control, active power filtering and harmonic cancellation. [6] Wind turbines with variable-speed generators have the potential to add synthetic inertia to the grid and assist in frequency control.
The term power system control describes actions taken in response to unplanned disturbances (e.g., changes in demand or equipment failures) in order to provide reliable electric supply of acceptable quality. [3] The corresponding engineering branch is called Power System Operations and Control.
Unlike the TCR, the TSC is only ever operated fully on or fully off. An attempt to operate a TSC in ‘’phase control’’ would result in the generation of very large amplitude resonant currents, leading to overheating of the capacitor bank and thyristor valve, and harmonic distortion in the AC system to which the SVC is connected.
