A simulation model of 230kV substation primary system and TSC+TCR typed dynamic reactive power compensation control system was constituted with RTDS, and the feasibility of control system with a case was validated. The control system was to monitor the variation of power system equivalent susceptance with sampling the power system voltage, established the relationships between power system susceptance and the firing angle of TCR, adjusted TSC switch and TCR firing angle to dynamically compensate the reactive power of power system. The simulation results demonstrate that the control system can guarantee power system voltage stability and real-time adjust power factor.

The increasing need for energy requires using existing energy sources more efficiently. Because it is the active power that supplies useful power for industrial facilities, reactive power must be minimized, and supplied by another source instead of electrical grid. Therefore, reactive power supplied by the grid can be reduced via by correcting power factor of the grid. In electrical power systems, power factor correction is called reactive power compensation. Generating reactive power during excessive excitation, synchronous motors are used as dynamic compensators in power systems. Synchronous motors are more cost-effective for industrial facilities when they are used to generate mechanic power and compensate reactive power, which increases the efficiency of industrial facilities. There are various studies focusing on the efficiency, capacity and stability of the power system via reactive power compensation in the literature. In today's world, there are numerous optimization techniques inspired by biological systems. One of these techniques is Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) inspired by the movements of swarms of birds. This study focuses on the reactive power compensation of a power system by controlling the excitation current of a synchronous motor via PSO based PID and Ziegler Nichols (Z-N) based PID controllers.

A power system suffers from losses that can cause tragic consequences. Reactive power presence in the power system increases system losses delivered power quality and distorted the voltage. As a result, many studies are concerned with reactive power compensation. The necessity of balancing resistive power generation and absorption throughout a power system gave birth to many devices used for reactive power compensation. Static Var Compensators are hunt devices used for the generation or absorption of reactive power as desired. SVCs provide fast and smooth compensation and power factor correction. In this paper, a Fuzzified Static Var Compensator consists of Thyristor Controlled Reactor (TCR) branch and Thyristor Switched Capacitors branches for reactive power compensation and power factor correction at the load side is presented. The system is simulated using Simulink using a group of blocks and equations for measuring power factor, determining the weightage by which the power factor is improved, determining the firing angle of TCR branch, and capacitor configuration of TSC branches. Furthermore, a hardware prototype is designed and implemented with its associated software; it includes a smart meter build-up for power monitoring, which displays voltage, current, real power, reactive power and power factor and SVC branches with TRIAC as the power switching device. Lastly, static and dynamic loads are used to test the system's capability in providing fast response and compensation. The simulation results illustrated the proposed system's capability and responsiveness in compensating the reactive power and correcting the power factor. It also highlighted the proportional relation between reactive power presence and the increased cost in electricity bills. The proposed smart meter and SVC prototypes proved their capabilities in giving accurate measurement and monitoring and sending the data to the graphical user interface through ZigBee communication and power factor correction. Reactive power presence is an undesired event that affects the equipment and connected consumers of a power system. Therefore, fast and smooth compensation for reactive power became a matter of concern to utility companies, power consumers and manufacturers. Therefore, the use of compensating devices is of much importance as they can increase power capacity, regulate the voltage and improve the power system performance.

Abstract The increased size of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plants worldwide has led to an increase in boil-off gas (BOG) flows. The BOG can be either liquefied again to LNG or compressed to higher pressure levels for use as fuel gas. Single shaft multistage centrifugal compressors are used to compress large volume of BOG at high pressures. This paper reviews design considerations for synchronous motor driven BOG centrifugal compressors operating at high discharge pressures. Several design features including compressor selection and sizing, auxiliary system, performance characteristics and testing are reviewed. The use of leading power factor synchronous motors to improve the power factor of the LNG plant is discussed. Capability curves of API 546 synchronous motors for operation in VAR control mode — for maintaining constant reactive power — are explained. The choice between the use of speed control or adjustable guide vanes for BOG compressors is discussed.
