Method for determining compensation (Power Factor correction Guidelines) Step 3: Allowance for operating conditions and harmonics Capacitor banks should be selected depending on the working conditions expected during their lifetime. Allowing for operating conditions The operating conditions have a great influence on the life expectancy of capacitors. The following parameters should be taken into a...

The Graph below shows Harmonic Current Distortion in the form of THDi. This is hovering between 20 and 25%. Ideally, it should be less than 10% and preferably less than 8% THDi. The highest value of average total harmonic distortion (THDi%) across three phases was calculated from raw data. This value is 24.19%THDi and was recorded at time shown. At the same time, average line current (Amps) across...

We make a simple introduction about harmoincs in networks,welcome to communicate with us about harmonics and how to solve. General Introduction Harmonics are usually defined by two main characteristics: Their amplitude: value of the harmonic voltage or current. Their order: value of their frequency with respect to the fundamental frequency (50 Hz). Under such conditions, the frequency of a 5th ord...

Reactive power is necessary to generate magnetic fields, e.g. in motors, transformers and generators. This power oscillates between the source and the load and represents an additional loading. Static var Compensator (SVC) and static var generator can suppress the voltage fluctuation, flicker and rapidly compensate the reactive power and the quality of electric power can be improved. If you have q...

The effects of harmonics on loads The following two types of effects appear in the main equipment: immediate or short-term effects and long-term effects. Immediate or short-term effects: Unwanted tripping of protection devices, Induced interference from LV current systems (remote control, telecommunications), Abnormal vibrations and noise, Damage due to capacitor thermal overload, Faulty operation...

Compared with SVC, SVG is superior to SVC in the following aspects: SVG: Static Var Generator(also as know static synchronous compensator or Statcom) SVC: Static Var Compensator 1. Advanced working principle (1)Static Var Compensator can be seen as a dynamic source of reactive power. According to the requirements of accessing the grid, it can provide capacitive reactive power to networks, and...

SVG Principle The principle of the SVG is, when the load is generating inductive or capacitive current, it makes load current lagging or leading the voltage. SVG detects the phase angle difference and generates leading or lagging current into the grid, making the phase angle of current almost the same as that of voltage on the transformer side, which means fundamental power factor is unit. Compare...

Part 1:Principle of reactive energy management All AC electrical networks consume two types of power: active power (kW) and reactive power (kVAr): The active power P (in kW) is the real power transmitted to loads such as motors,lamps, heaters, computers, etc. The electrical active power is transformed into mechanical power, heat or light. The reactive power Q (in kVAr) is used only to power the ma...

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...

Industry background Chemical industry involves many mechanical processes with demanding quality requirements. Before any mechanical smelting, casting, or stamping, an induction melting furnace is used to melt metal. Most induction melting furnaces use a 6-pulse or 12-pulse rectifier, which produces high volumes of harmonic and reactive power. As a result, the production efficiency of induction mel...

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...
