Var. Control in Power System
- Introduction:
The role of reactive power and its direct relation with voltage
Some examples for the necessity of reactive power control in power systems
A review of the power system elements and their reactive power concern
- Reactive power compensation:
Load compensation- Power factor correction, Voltage regulation, Load balancing
Transmission line compensation at steady state condition:
Synchronous machines reactive power exchange limit, Line voltage profile improvement, Increasing the line power transmission capability, therefore, improving the system stability
- Principles of static compensators:
Thyristor controlled reactor (TCR)
Thyristor switched capacitor (TSC)
Static VAR compensator (SVC)
- The role of compensators in improving the dynamic behavior of power system
- Basics of advanced compensators (FACTs devices)
