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 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...

Power quality problems and Industry background Dynamic reactive power, lower power factors, and higher harmonic content are common power quality problems in the CNC industry. Major contamination sources of power quality include the punching machines,welding machines. When harmonics occur, dynamic reactive current and 3-phase imbalance are produced. During the CNC period, the power factor of arc fu...

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...

STATCOM STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator)continuously provides variable reactive power in response to voltage variations, supporting the stability of the grid. STATCOM operates according to voltage source converter (VSC) principles, combining unique PWM (pulse width modulation) with millisecond switching. STATCOM functions with a very limited need for harmonic filters, contributing to a sma...

What is Power Factor? Power factor is a measure of how effectively you are using electricity. Various types of power are at work to provide us with electrical energy. Here is what each one is doing. Working Power – the “true” or “real” power used in all electrical appliances to perform the work of heating, lighting, motion, etc. We express this as kW or kilowatts. Common types of resistive loads a...
