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...

Zero sequence current, known as residual current or triplen harmonic current, is a phenomenon that occurs in electrical systems due to the presence of unbalanced loads or nonlinear loads. The primary reason for the presence of zero current is unbalanced loads. In a three-phase power system, the loads are ideally balanced, meaning that the three phases draw equal currents. However, in practical sce...

The improvement of power quality is mainly through power quality equipment and current signal and other parameters in the current transformer detection system, so as to correctly control the power quality problem in real time and improve the environment of the distribution system.  For capacitor bank, we usually only use a CT mounted on the power side for sampling.  For SVG / APF, a...

1. What are the 3rd, 5th, and 7th harmonics? In a normal power system, electrical equipment with linear impedance change characteristics will not affect the power supply with a frequency of 50Hz and a standard sinusoidal waveform when it is working. However, with the development of power electronics technology, there are more and more electrical equipment with nonlinear impedance characteristics (...

Statcom, Current sampling and voltage sampling Current and Voltage Sampling in STATCOM Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) is a device used for dynamic reactive power compensation and voltage stabilization in power systems. Accurate current and voltage sampling are crucial for the proper functioning of STATCOM, ensuring it provides the necessary reactive power compensation and voltage regulat...

Harmonic voltage and harmonic current are common phenomena in power systems, and they have a great impact on power equipment and power grid operation. Harmonics refer to voltage or current components whose frequencies are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. In power systems, the fundamental frequency is generally 50Hz or 60Hz, so the harmonic frequency is an integer multiple of 50Hz or...
