Abstract:
A thyristor controlled LC (TCLC) compensator for compensating dynamic reactive power in a power grid system, with an advantage of mitigating harmonic current injection from solid-state switches during switching on or off is provided. Exemplarily, the TCLC compensator is shunt-connected to the three-phase power grid and comprises an electronic controller, a coupling inductor (Lc), a first branch of circuit with a parallel inductor (LPF) and a solid-state switch, and a second branch of circuit with a parallel capacitor (CPF), wherein the coupling inductor (Lc) is connected in series with a parallel combination of the first and second branch of circuit. The electronic controller for the TCLC compensator is configured in accordance to the generalized instantaneous reactive power theory for improving the response speed instead of using traditional average reactive power concept.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a reactive power compensation system includes a first measurement unit, a second measurement unit, a reactive power compensation unit, and a controller. The first measurement unit measures impedance of each of at least one load. The second measurement unit measures a voltage and current provided to the at least one load. The reactive power compensation unit compensates the leading reactive power or the lagging reactive power. The controller monitors a change of the impedance in real time, checks a change of the voltage or current according to the change of the impedance, and controls the reactive power compensation unit according to a result of the check to compensate the leading reactive power or the lagging reactive power.if
Abstract:
A mixed signal controller for a power quality compensator includes an analog circuit, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and a digital circuit. The analog circuit amplifies an input signal from the power quality compensator by a gain factor and outputs an analog signal, which is converted to a digital signal by the ADC. The digital circuit receives the digital signal, calculates the reference compensating current of each phase and then generates a trigger signal via hysteresis PWM to the power quality compensator. The digital circuit includes an evaluation circuit that calculates a value of the system total harmonic distortion after the power quality compensator compensates power and adjusts the gain factor when the value of the system total harmonic distortion reaches a predetermined threshold.
