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...

Single busbar compensation Overview An installation with a single LV busbar is that most often encountered. This type of installation requires that the reactive power can change with respect to the methods defined previously. Compensation uses all the receiving devices of the installation and the amperage of the current transformer is determined according to the total current conducted through the...

Method for determining compensation (Power Factor correction Guidelines) Step 1 Selection of the compensation mode The location of L.V capacitors banks in an installation constitutes the mode of reactive power compensation, which may be central (one location for the entire installation), by sector or group (section-by-section), at load level, or some combination of the latter two. In principle, th...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
