Modeling and simulation of extra high voltage magnetically controlled shunt reactor based on PSCAD

Abstract For the two typical topologies of extra high voltage magnetically controlled shunt reactor (MCSR), this study introduces its specific wiring methods and working principles. It conducts an analysis change characteristics response core magnetic flux under different modes body. Based on PSCAD, structures are used to model body first 500 kV MCSR put into operation in a provincial power grid perform steady-state dynamic simulations. The results field experiments compared analyzed. winding connection mode device’s electromagnetic transient is determined, which lays foundation for follow-up research.
