An Innovative TCR Compensator for Closed Loop Reactive Power Compensation of Dynamic Loads
نویسندگان
چکیده
Topology for closed loop reactive power compensation suitable for dynamic loads using TCR is presented. Firing angle range of TCR is selected in such a way to keep the harmonic content at a minimum level. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can achieve reactive power compensation in less than a half cycle and the harmonics contents of source are maintained at insignificant levels due to delta connection of TCR and appropriate firing angle range selection of TCR.

متن کاملA New Strategy for Simultaneous Compensation of Instantaneous Reactive Power and Harmonics of Non-Linear Loads (RESEARCH NOTE)
This paper presents a new control method for simultaneous compensation of instantaneous reactive power and current harmonics by parallel active filters (PAFs). Reference compensating currents of PAF are calculated using the subtraction of instantaneous power from its average value. In this way, it is possible omitting high/low pass filter(s) from the control circuit of PAF, which usually result...

متن کاملA Comparison between SVC and STATCOM in Flicker Mitigation of Electric Arc Furnace using Practical Recorded Data
Electric arc furnace (EAF) is one of the largest loads in electric power systems. It is highly time varying and nonlinear. Its reactive power variations cause voltage fluctuations in nearby system which is known as flicker. On the other hand the nonlinear voltage-current characteristic causes strong voltage and current harmonics in EAF. To this end Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) techn...
