Power Factor Control refers to the management and maintenance of an acceptable power factor in electrical systems. Power factor is the ratio of real power (kW) to apparent power (kVA) in an electrical circuit. A low power factor indicates that the circuit is inefficient and requires more current to deliver a given amount of power. This results in increased energy losses, higher electricity bills, ...

Why adjust the power factor of a generator? 1. When the generator is running, the power factor is too high, that is, the reactive power is too low, which reduces the reactive power margin of the system and affects the steady-state stability of the generator. Although the economy is improved, in the long run, this is in exchange for an increased probability of accidents. Once an accident occurs, th...

A Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) is a power electronic device used for voltage control and reactive power compensation in electrical power systems. It is typically connected to the grid and is capable of injecting or absorbing reactive power to regulate the system voltage. The control of voltage by a STATCOM is primarily achieved by manipulating its reactive power output. Here's a basic ...

Static VAR Compensator At the medium voltage level, one common of reactive power compensation is Static Var Compensators (SVCs). SVCs are typically installed in electrical power systems to regulate the voltage and compensate for reactive power fluctuations. They consist of various components such as thyristor-controlled reactors (TCRs) and thyristor-switched capacitors (TSCs) that can quickly adju...

Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) is a device used in power systems to control voltage and reactive power. In the context of rail transit, STATCOM can serve several purposes: Voltage Regulation: STATCOM can regulate the voltage levels in the rail transit system, ensuring that they remain within acceptable limits. It can compensate for voltage drops or fluctuations caused by various factors ...

1. What is reactive power? In the operation of the power grid, due to the existence of current and voltage, there is not only active power but also reactive power in the power system. Active power is the part of electrical energy that is directly converted into efficiency, such as the process in which electrical energy driving motors, heaters and other loads is converted into mechanical energy and...
