6 FAQs about [Reactive power compensation capacitor and reactance matching]
Can capacitive reactive power be used to regulate voltage?
This article presents an efficient voltage regulation method using capacitive reactive power. Simultaneous operation of photovoltaic power systems with the local grids induces voltage instabilities in the distribution lines. These voltage fluctuations cross the allowable limits on several occasions and cause economic losses.
How does a capacitor provide reactive impedance?
Capacitor provides reactive impedance that causes proportional voltage to the line current when it is series connected to the line. The compensation voltage is changed regarding to the transmission angle δ and line current. The delivered power P S is a function of the series compensation degree s where it is given by
What is reactive power compensation?
The reactive power compensation helps to increase available maximum load of any transmission line to the thermal limits under stability ranges without complex sizing requirements. This is obtained by using traditional reactive power compensations such as series or shunt capacitors, and variable compensators.
Can a capacitor bank be used as a compensator for inductive reactive power?
Therefore, the use of capacitor banks in any of their versions (single-phase, three-phase, scalable battery, SVC, etc.) is the most economical and sufficient solution. In this study, a calculation algorithm is proposed to obtain compensators for the inductive reactive power of the load, consisting only of single-phase capacitor banks.
What is reactive power compensation & voltage control?
The reactive power compensation and voltage control is primarily performed by selecting shunt devices that are shown in the first line of the figure. The SVCs are capable to present more accurate and smoother control comparing to mechanically switched shunt compensators.
What is the difference between inductive and capacitive reactance?
The inductive and capacitive reactances are frequency dependent (hence are only present in AC systems), oppose each other and are at right angles to the pure (DC) resistance. The net reactance, which is usually inductive, opposes the flow of current, and the power required to overcome this reactance is called reactive power (Q).
