Abstract It is proposed to reduce the number of electrical and electronic devices by 1.5 times in three-stage capacitor installations by changing the connections in the power circuit and using a special control method. The new principle of construction of reactive power compensators will allow, with minimal changes and additions to existing installations, to reduce the costs of their production and the cost of finished products. The existing installations contain three blocks of the same type of capacitors, each of which is equipped with an electrical and electronic device and resistors for their discharge. It is proposed to connect two of these three blocks in parallel without changing the design of the products, using a common electronic device for connecting and disconnecting the resulting block of capacitors with double capacity and a common electrical device in the capacitor discharge circuit of this block. A model is presented in the Matlab environment for the study of dynamic and stationary processes of three-stage reactive power regulation in a new scheme of a capacitor plant. Numerical experiments have shown that when the installation is switched on and off, as well as when switching from one stage of reactive power regulation to another, the proposed device does not create bursts of starting currents. After starting, it almost immediately enters the steady-state operation mode and when switching stages, it also immediately passes from one level of the steady-state values of such to another level of their steady-state values. The installation is switched off without switching losses and without arcing on the mechanical contacts, since thyristor switches with natural switching are switched off first, and then the de-energized mains switch.

Abstract The article is devoted to issues related to increasing the energy efficiency of industrial electrothermal installations, both in starting and stationary operating modes due to the use of capacitors and thyristor starters with special control. The results of a significant reduction in the duration of the transient process, elimination of surges and asymmetry of starting currents and voltage drawdowns are presented. The results of full compensation of the reactive power of the network in the steady-state mode are also presented. It is shown that the starting currents do not exceed their steady-state values and that the shutdown of the electrothermal installation is performed without the occurrence of an arc and switching losses at the contacts of the switches. Researches of an electrothermal installation with a capacity of 750 kV⋅A and a voltage of 380 / 80 V are made on the model in the Matlab environment.

Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind power generation system is widely used in wind farm all over the world. Reactive power can be generated both in grid-side converter and generator-side converter of DFIG. In this paper, working principle and control method of DFIG are introduced, and the reactive power limit of DFIG is derived, finally reactive power regulation is simulated in Simulink.

This paper presents a dynamic model of modular multilevel converters (MMCs), which are considered as an effective interface between energy sources and the power grid. By improving the converter performance, appropriate reactive power compensation is guaranteed. Modulation indices are calculated based on detailed harmonic evaluations of both dynamic and steady-state operation modes, which is considered as the main contribution of this paper in comparison with other methods. As another novelty of this paper, circulating current control is accomplished by embedding an additional second harmonic component in the modulation process. The proposed control method leads to an effective reduction in capacitor voltage fluctuation and losses. Finally, converter’s maximum stable operation range is modified, which provides efficiency enhancements and also stability assurance. The proficiency and functionality of the proposed controller are demonstrated through detailed theoretical analysis and simulations with MATLAB/Simulink.

Static var compensator (STATCOM) is a widely used power electronic device for dynamic reactive power compensation, and its current detecting and control method generally adopts d-q decoupling method based on the synchronous rotating coordinate transformation. However, in the traditional method, the load reactive current component is directly used as the command of STATCOM output current, so it is required that the installation position of STATCOM must be consistent with load current detecting point. But in practice, STATCOM installation point and load current detecting point may be located at two different sides of the transformer. For this situation, this paper proposed an improved reactive current detecting and control method based on the principle of power balance, achieving the current detecting and control strategies when the two points are located at different sides of transformer. Finally, the simulation of system with STATCOM accessed from the third winding of transformer verifies the correctness and feasibility of the proposed method.

Automatic voltage control (AVC) system has been widely used in power systems at home and abroad, with some problems in applications. This paper proposes a closed-loop testing method based on real time digital simulation system (RTDS) and reactive optimization procedures to simulate the actual AVC operation mode, we can obtain an optimal control which is different from the actual AVC system, it can be used as the actual AVC system judgment to evaluate the action effectiveness and the advantages/disadvantages of the actual AVC system compared with optimal results. Finally, the simulation tests show that RTDS-based reactive power and voltage optimization control method is good so that it can be regard as reference to evaluate the control effectiveness of the actual AVC system action.
