Site conditions The site is located in Hangzhou Asian Games Village.The project has more than 20 power distribution rooms. Due to the main load being fire-fighting facilities, which are generally not started, the transformers almost all operate without load, and the cable length is long, resulting in capacitive reactive power at both the high and low voltage sides, which cannot be compensated by t...
Reactive currents backstreaming from Solar to Utility Reactive currents backstreaming(from Solar plant) in power supply system is not only harmful but also expensive for financial purposes. Parasite currents in both electricity transmission lines and equipment of solar power-stations cause financial losses because of converting electric energy to thermal (thus making generation amount lower, that ...
Hybrid power factor correction Hybrid Active power factor correction systems utilise power electronics and digital control to achieve active reactive current compensation for specific and high performance solutions. YTPQC hybrid power factor correction system is comprised from both capacitor based and Static Var Generator(SVG,Active Power Factor correction). Static Var Generator is use...
Harmonics and 3rd order harmonic Harmonics are the result of nonlinear loads that convert AC line voltage to DC. Harmonics flow into the electrical system because of nonlinear electronic switching devices, such as variable frequency drives (VFDs), computer power supplies and energy-efficient lighting. Today, the most prevalent and growing harmonic sources are: VFD’s, EC motors...
Static VAR Generator (SVG) and Hybrid Compensation both solutions used in power systems to improve power quality and mitigate issues related to voltage and reactive power control. However, there are differences between the two approaches. Static VAR Generator (SVG): An SVG is a power electronic device used to compensate for reactive power in the transmission and distribution system. It operates by...
The relationship between capacitors and harmonics is very close, especially in power systems. The use of capacitors can affect the generation and propagation of harmonics, and are also easily affected by harmonics, leading to reduced performance or damage. Harmonic amplification In the power system, capacitors have a lower impedance to harmonics, so harmonic currents tend to flow through th...
The peak and effective value of harmonics When discussing the peak of harmonic currents, it's essential to first understand the fundamentals of harmonics. The effective value (RMS value) of a harmonic describes the average power of the harmonic component over one period, reflecting the equivalent extent to which the harmonic causes heating effects in the system. However, the peak of a harmonic (th...
Introduction To Capacitors And Reactors Reactance includes inductive reactance and capacitive reactance, and reactor includes inductive reactance (inductor) and capacitive reactance (capacitor). Inductance has the function of blocking AC and blocking DC, that is, in the AC circuit, the characteristics of inductive reactance are used to pass low-frequency DC and block high-frequency AC. The capacit...
