    摘要: The invention features a system and approach for minimizing the step voltage change as seen by the utility customer as well minimizing transients imposed on the fundamental waveform of a normal voltage carried on a utility power network when a reactive power source (e.g., capacitor bank) is instantaneously connected to the utility power. The reactive power source is adapted to transfer reactive power of a first polarity (e.g., capacitive reactive power) to the utility power network. The system includes a reactive power compensation device configured to transfer a variable quantity of reactive power of a second, opposite polarity to the utility power network, and a controller which, in response to the need to connect the shunt reactive power source to the utility power network, activates the reactive power compensation device and, substantially simultaneously, causes the shunt reactive power source to be connected to the utility power.

    摘要: A voltage recovery system and its method of operation provides voltage protection to a load connected to a distribution network of a utility power system or network by boosting the voltage on a distribution line, during a momentary voltage sag caused by a fault or other contingency. The method includes voltage protection from a voltage recovery system to a load connected to a distribution network of a utility power network. A voltage protection characteristic required by the load is selected. On the basis of electrical characteristics of the voltage recovery system and the distribution network, a determination is made as to whether the voltage recovery system is capable of providing the required first voltage protection characteristic. Determining whether the voltage recovery system is capable of providing the required voltage protection characteristic includes determining a fault current capability characteristic of the distribution network and the maximum voltage improvement characteristic that the voltage recovery system can provide. If the voltage protection characteristic is greater than the maximum voltage improvement characteristic, the fault current capability characteristic and the maximum voltage improvement characteristic are used to determine an impedance in the form of an inductor to be added to the distribution network.
