Overview of Active Harmoinc Filter Active Harmonic Filter(AHF) is a perfect comprehensive solution to power quality problems such as harmonic wave, reactive power, and 3 phase load unbalance. AHF is connected in parallel in power grid, to detect the harmonic wave in real time, generate the reverse-phase compensation current through the converter, and dynamically filter the harmonic wave. The operation of AHF is unaffected by power grid structure and load type, and it will not produce harmonic oscillation with the system, thus perfectly realizing harmonic wave control of various loads. AHF can also realize dynamic reactive compensation, and control the capacitor switching, to improve the power factor. Meanwhile, Active Harmonic Filter has the function of controlling the 3 phase load current unbalance, thus comprehensively solving various power quality problems with power grid.

Overview of Static Var Generator Static Var Generator (SVG) also known as instantaneous stepless reactive power compensators are the ultimate answer to power quality problems caused by low power factor and reactive power demand for a wide  range of segments and applications. They are a high performance, compact, flexible, modular and cost-effective type of active power filters (APF) that provide an instantaneous and effective  response to power quality problems in low or high voltage electric power systems. They enable longer equipment lifetime, higher process reliability, improved power system capacity and stability, and reduced energy losses, complying with most demanding power quality standards and grid codes. Low power factor increases the active energy losses of installations and affects their stability. It is typically caused by inductive or capacitive loads that demand extra reactive power to perform properly. Other contributors to low power factor are harmonic currents produced by nonlinear loads and the change of load in the electric power system. SVG deliver real-time inductive or capacitive reactive power compensation. Rapid response time provides stable and accurate power factor correction without the drawbacks of conventional solutions like capacitor banks and reactor banks. Principle of SVG Static Var Generator is a power electronics-based device connected in parallel with the load that requires harmonics mitigation. SVG works as a controlled current source providing any kind of current waveform in real time. When the load generates inductive or capacitive current, it makes load current lagging or leading the voltage. An SVG detects the pase angle difference and injects in real time leading or lagging current into the electric power systems, making the phase angle of the current almost the same as that of the voltage, bringing fundamental power factor to unity. Key features of SVG ◆PRECISE COMPENSATION Continuously outputs and compensates reactive power to maintain power factor >0.99. The compensation performance is 1.2 times better than a traditional compensation device (capacitor). ◆CAPABLE OF INDUCTIVE AND CAPACITE COMPENSATION Realize inductive and capacitive compensation, avoid under and over compensation issues. ◆SUPPRESS HARMONICS Configures the required amount of reactive current in real-time and compensates the reactive power to filter high order harmonics. ◆FAST RESPONSE Fast configuration capability provides fast analysis and response time. Provides cycle response <5ms and dynamic response <200us. ◆LOW VOLTAGE BENEFITS Output current is not affected by the mains voltage fluctuation, providing stable support for mains voltage. ◆MINIMAL LOSS, BETTER ENERGYEFFICIENCY Adopts new standard IGBT with low power consumption rate and improves full set device efficiency up to 97%. The system provides low power consumption. ◆MODULAR DESIGN, EASY EXTENSION No need for additional re...

What is Capacitor banks? Capacitor banks, a group of several capacitors of the same rating that are connected in series or parallel with each others, help to improve the quality of the electrical power and gives us the more efficient operation of the power system. Capacitor banks are inexpensive if we compare the benefits they deliver to overall power system and can be easily installed anywhere on the network. Automatic Power-factor Correction (APFC) Capacitor Banks also known as Shunt Capacitor Banks (SCB) are installed to provide reactive compensation and power factor correction. The use of APFC improve voltage regulation, saves power loss and improve transmission capabilities. What Does a Capacitor Bank Work? Capacitor banks, work on the same theory that a single capacitor does; they are designed to store electrical energy, just at a greater capacity than a single device. An individual capacitor consists of two conductors which are separated by a dielectric or insulating material. When current is sent through the conductors, an electric field that is static in nature then develops in the dielectric which acts as stored energy. The dielectric is designed to permit a predetermined amount of leakage which will gradually dissipate the energy stored in the device which is one of the larger differences between capacitors and batteries. Typical Applications Our modern world of electronics requires a lot of energy. To meet this demand, energy must be stored electrically for easy access. Capacitors are ideal for storing large electrical energy charges as well as conditioning the flow of energy as needed. Here are some of the typical uses for capacitor banks: • Shunt Capacitor: A shunt is a mechanism that allows electric current to pass around another point in the circuit by creating a low-resistance path. In electrical noise bypass applications, capacitors are used to redirect high-frequency noise to ground before it can propagate throughout the system, but especially to the load. Shunt capacitor banks are used to improve the quality of the electrical supply and thus improve the efficiency of the power systems. • Power-Factor Correction: In transformers and electric motors, capacitor banks are used to correct power-factor lag or phase shift in AC Power Supplies.The power factor of an AC power system is a comparison of the power used by the load, called the “real power,” divided by the power supplied to the load, known as “apparent power.” In other words, the power factor is the ratio of the useful work performed by a circuit compared to the maximum useful work that could have been performed at the supplied voltage and amperage. In electric power distribution, capacitor banks are used for power-factor correction. These banks are needed to counteract inductive loading from devices like electric motors and transmission lines, thus making the load appear to be mostly resistive. In essence, power-factor correction capacitors increase the current-carryi...

High Voltage SVG/STATCOM High voltage SVG/STATCOM series static var generator using IGBT as the core power modules which can quicklyand continuously provide capacitive or inductive reactive power, achieve constant reactive power, constant voltage and constant power factor control through the assessment point, and ensure the power grid is running stable, high efficiency and high quality. In the power distribution network, the small capacity STATCOM can significantly improve the power quality (improve the power factor, overcome phase imbalance, eliminate voltage flicker and fluctuation, restraining harmonic), if it is installed in some special loads (such as electric arc furnace). Main Function ZDDQ STATCOM has superior advantages compare with conventional fixed capacitor compensator, MCR and TCR. ■ Fast reactive power adjustment ZDDQ STATCOM provides continuous dynamic compensation to power factor along the load variation. It completely eradicates capacitive reactive power delivery to networks and maintain power factor in designed value for network. Statcom has advantages: 1.Fast response, able to implement dynamic compensation(both inductive and capacitive vars) in real time. 2.Effectively avoid parallel resonance. 3.Able to produce and absorb reactive power. 4.Deliver less harmonic to system. ■Restrain voltage fluctuation and flicker Power grid voltage has fluctuation and flicker when high power impact load is operating. Voltage fluctuation and flicker bring negative influence to other nearby customers’ electricity usage and sensitive load by decreasing safety for electricity usage and decreasing efficiency for production, increasing risk of faulty production. STATCOM response time is less than 1ms and it provides smooth dynamic compensation for reactive power. It is more efficient to restrain voltage flicker and reduce voltage fluctuation, improve voltage to meet standard. ■ Constant current, effectively restrain voltage drop ZDDQ STATCOM has characteristic of constant current. It has advantage in voltage control due to its reactive current output is not affected by busbar voltage. System needs more dynamic reactive power when system voltage gets lower. STATCOM reactive current output is not related to system voltage, but the conventional capacitor VAR compensator’s reactive power output is proportional to square value of voltage. STATCOM can provide better support for improving low voltage ride through (LVRT) characteristic in wind power. ■Compensate negative sequence, implement balanced power supply ZDDQ STATCOM has unique chained structure to allow split-phase adjustment and realizes energy interchange between different phases. It provides balanced compensation to load negative sequence by applying Steinmetz balanced principle. STATCOM makes current flow into system with balanced power and desired reactive power. ■Resistance to harmonics, able to compensate the part of harmonic current Due to widely applications of nonlinear load, harmonics ...

Static Var Compensation (SVC) Static Var Compensators (SVC) are devices that can quickly and reliably control line voltages. An SVC will typically regulate and control the voltage to the required set point under normal steady state and contingency conditions and thereby provide dynamic, fast response reactive power following system contingencies (e.g. network short circuits, line and generator disconnections). In addition, an SVC can also increase transfer capability, reduce losses, mitigate active power oscillations and prevent over voltages at loss of load. The SVC is customized to fit each customer with their specific needs. The SVC consists of a number of fixed or switched branches, of which at least one branch includes thyristors, and the combination of branches can be varied a lot depending on requirements. An SVC typically includes a combination of at least two of the given items below (e.g. TCR/FC or TCR/TSC/FC): ◆ Thyristor controlled reactor (TCR) ◆ Thyristor switched capacitor (TSC) ◆ Harmonic filter (FC) ◆ Mechanically switched capacitor bank (MSC) or reactor bank (MSR) MV SVC contactor switched APFC capacitor banks MV SVC Contactor switched SVC capacitor banks Most common topologies for SVCs are: TCR/FC or TCR/TSC/FC. The main advantage for using a topology with TSC branch(es) is to reduce the losses (by reducing the filter size). Mechanically switched banks can be included both on HV and LV side of SVC transformer to increase the total reactive power support outside the dynamic range.  SVC control system can be utilized for controlling new or existing external shunt banks.

Thyristor Switched Capacitors(TSC) TSC is a well established technology that is primarily used to reduce transfer reactances, most notably in bulk transmission corridors. The result is a significant increase in the transient and voltage stability in transmission systems. Thyristor Switched Capacitors enables rapid dynamic modulation of the inserted reactance. At interconnection points between transmission grids, this modulation will provide strong damping torque on inter-area electromechanical oscillations. As a consequence, a TSC rated at around 100 Mvar makes it possible to interconnect grids having generating capacity in the many thousands of megawatts. Often the TSC is combined with fixed series compensation to increase transient stability in the most cost effective way. The TSC concept also enables inherent immunity against subsynchronous resonance (SSR), and thus allows for extended use of series capacitors in specific transmission grids comprising thermal generation. The immunity to SSR is a result of the ABB patented SVR control strategy. TSC Principle There are two main principles supporting TSC technology. First, the TSC provides electromechanical damping between large electrical systems by modulating the reactance of one or more specific interconnecting power lines. In other words, the TSC will provide a variable capacitive reactance. Second, the Thyristor Switched Capacitors/TSC will change its apparent impedance (as seen by the line current) for subsynchronous frequencies in such a way that a potential subsynchronous resonance is avoided. The TSC achieves both objectives by using control algorithms that work concurrently. The controls will function on the thyristor circuit (this in parallel to the main capacitor bank) such that controlled charges are added to the main capacitor, making it a variable capacitor at fundamental frequency but a "virtual inductor" at subsynchronous frequencies. TSC technology From a principal technology point of view, the TSC resembles the conventional series capacitor. The power equipment is located on an isolated steel platform, including the thyristor valve used to control the inductor in parallel with the capacitor bank. The inductor is placed on support insulators outside the platform. Control and protection systems are located on ground potential, together with other auxiliary systems.

What is Power Factor? Power that is used by electrical equipment is known as real power. A site may also draw power that is not directly used, this is known as reactive power. The combination of the two is known as apparent power. Power Factor is the relationship between real and apparent power. If a site has poor Power Factor, it could be paying for energy that cannot be used. What is Powre Factor correction? Power Factor Correction (PFC) equipment is a technology which when installed allows the consumer to reduce their electricity bill by maintaining the level of reactive power consumption. If a sites Power Factor falls below a predetermined figure then the electricity company adds reactive power charges to your bill. In general, the strain on electrical infrastructure is reduced if Power Factor is good. Power factor correction PFC systems introduce a reactive load which supplies reactive power of an opposite sign to that exported by a site, thereby having a cancelling effect. The ideal Power Factor ratio is 1:0. Poor Power Factor has a negative impact on a site including drawing more power from the network causing losses at transformers, reducing effective capacity and incurring ‘poor Power Factor’ or ‘reactive power’ charges from the supplier. Advantages of improved power factor include reducing power demand from the network (which will result in lower electricity bills), prolonging lifespan of equipment, reducing losses in supply transformers and increasing the effective capacity of your electrical network.

Hybrid power factor correction Hybrid Power Factor Correction provide an instantaneous and effective response to power quality problems in low or high voltage electric power systems with lower cost. They enable longer equipment lifetime, higher process reliability, improved power system capacity and stability, and reduced energy losses, complying with most demanding power quality standards and grid codes. SVG TSC hybrid power factor correction SVG TSC mixed reactive power compensation Active power factor correction systems utilise power electronics and digital control to achieve active reactive current compensation for specific and high performance solutions. The  active power factor correction unit utilises closed loop control to correct power factor with a ¼ cycle (5mS) response.  This is suitable for unsteady fast changing loads such as cranes, welders, saws and debarking machines. However, sites containing loads such as these generally have a steadier base load. Considering active power factor correction produces a significant amount of heat, the question is whether the whole site needs active power factor correction when only part of the site needs it.A hybrid power factor correction system is comprised from both capacitor based and active power factor correction. Active power factor correction is used to cope with the unsteady fast changing portion of total load while capacitor banks support correction by correcting the steadier base load. This system offers the high level performance of an active system combined with the cost effectiveness offered by capacitor bank correction.

The second biggest power quality issue is harmonic mitigation. Commercial installations will often have elevated 3rd harmonics owing to single phase non-linear loads such as computer switch mode power supplies, LED lighting, electronics lighting ballasts, inverter heat pumps. Add a computer data centre backed up by UPS containing a six pulse rectifier and 5th, 7th, 11th harmonics can be added into the mix. Variable Speed Drives controlling air handler units within building HVAC systems can further elevate the 5th, 7th, 11th harmonics Industrial installations will often have high levels of variable speed drive loading as automation systems improve efficiencies and productivity. It is no uncommon to see very high levels of current harmonics and voltage harmonic distortion resulting from six pulse VSDs drawing predominantly 5th, 7th 11th harmonics. Wouldn’t it be great if you could address both power factor correction and harmonic mitigation in one cost effective unit. The Advanced Static Var Generator (ASVG) does just that.
