How to scientifically configure Static Var Generators (SVGs) and Active Power Filters (APFs) in wind farm applications. Wind farms, particularly those using Doubly-Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs), are not only power producers but also major sources of power quality issues. The need and logic for configuring mitigation equipment here are significantly different from traditional commercial and indu...
How to scientifically configure Static Var Generators (SVGs) and Active Power Filters (APFs) in photovoltaic (PV) power plants. The power quality management of PV plants shares similarities with wind farms but has its own unique emphases. The core logic is: PV inverters are themselves harmonic sources and require reactive power support, while the grid has strict requirements for reactive powe...
While the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, there's a key conceptual difference between Real-Time Power Factor Correction and Active Power Factor Correction. 1. Real-Time Power Factor Correction (PFC) This is a functional description. It describes any power factor correction system that can dynamically adjust its compensation in response to changes in the load. Goal:&nb...
