STATCOM will be utilized in the night for power factor correction and voltage control at the terminals of an induction motor operating at poor power factor. PV solar farms produce power during the day and are completely idle in the nights. The proposed new control on PV solar system will help in increase the utilization of the PV solar system. A key component of the PV solar plant is a voltage sou...

There are a couple of principles to achieve reactive power compensation. The simplest solution is without any doubts a combination of switched passive elements, i.e. switched capacitors and inductors. Figure 1 shows qualitatively the reactive current versus connected voltage of such a solution. The reactive current depends linearly on the grid voltage and as a consequence the reactive power change...

Centralised compensation Centralised compensation by means of an automatic capacitor bank with automatic regulation offers the most simple and economical solution. The reactive power is subdivided in a number of capacitor steps that can be connected independently. A reactive power controller continuously measures the needs of the installation and connects or disconnects the capacitors until the ta...

Power Factor Correction The active power produced by the active current can alone be turned into an effective use for the consumer; while the reactive power produced by the reactive current does not yield usable power, and consequently, is not registered on the active performance meter. The reactive power has, however, a negative effect on generators, transformers, and conductor lines, while causi...

WHAT IS HARMONIC FILTERING? To understand the purpose of harmonic filtering, it helps to understand what harmonics are. The voltage of a standard 50Hz Alternating Current(AC) power supply swings between positive and negative 50 times a second, following a neat sine-wave. Linear AC electrical loads such as heaters or incandescent lights draw a current that follows this same sine-wave. The graph abo...

How much can be saved? Ultimately the level of energy saving achieved will be dictated by a combination of the incoming supply voltage level and the types of electrical equipment in use. The higher the supply voltage, the greater the potential to make energy savings. However different types of electrical equipment deliver different levels of energy saving for the same reduction in voltage. Voltage...

The ubiquity of synchronous generation should not be assumed in highly renewable power systems. Various problems may consequently arise, not least of which are the difficulties entailed in maintaining regional reactive power balance. Offering a potential solution to such problems, modern renewable generator technologies offer controllable reactive power resources. As many of these generators will ...

STATCOM - Static Synchronous Compensator It is a solid-state switching converter, capable of generating or absorbing independently controllable real and reactive power at its output terminals when it is fed from an energy source. STATCOM is considered as voltage-source converter that, from a given input of dc voltage, produces a set of 3-phase ac-output voltages, each in phase with and coupled to ...

Power quality “Power quality” can seem to be a pretty abstract term – how does one judge the quality of such an unseen commodity as electricity? But, as commercial and industrial facility managers know, good power quality can boost both productivity and employee safety, while poor power quality can mean a drain on the bottom line, thanks to damaged equipment, lost productivity and product spoilage...

Power factor correction Connected equipment (transformers, motors, air-conditioning, refrigerators, etc.) cause a phase angle between current and voltage.When the current is phase-shifted, it takes more current to deliver the same amount of active power. Impact of reactive power • Transmission equipment has to be sized for the apparent power, yet only active power is useful • Increased losses in t...

STATCOM A static synchronous compensator, known as a STATCOM, is another device used to regulate the power factor in medium to high voltage applications. They operate on roughly the same principles as a synchronous compensator, however, use a voltage source converter as opposed to a rotating machine to provide dynamic Power Factor Correction. STATCOMs use IGBT switching te...
