Synchronous motors can actually be used to correct power factor in industrial plants with many induction motors that cause a lagging current. The amount of power factor correction is controlled by the level of dc excitation of the rotor winding.
Because the dc excited rotor synchronous motor line current is leading the supply voltage, the synchronous motor acts like a power factor correcting capacitor. Synchronous motors can actually be used to correct power factor in industrial plants with many induction motors that cause a lagging current.
In the capacitive region, the increase in the excitation current causes an increase in the reactive power, and the decrease in the excitation current causes a decrease in the reactive power of the synchronous motor. After changing the excitation current appropriately, if | Qref1 |< Q0, the phase “ Ref1 ” is considered fully compensated.
Reactive power output ranges from approximately −250 VAr to 250 VAr. The limit values of reactive power, which the existing capacitor stages cannot compensate, can be produced by the synchronous motor. Fig. 10. Current, active power and reactive power of phase-A with excitation current.
In an industrial plant, synchronous motors can be used to supply some of the reactive power required by induction motors. This improves the plant power factor and reduces the reactive current required from the grid. A synchronous condenser provides stepless automatic power-factor correction with the ability to produce up to 150% additional vars.
With the help of adjustable coils connected in series to each phase of three-phase synchronous motor, it has been possible to obtain different amounts of reactive powers from the phases. The hybrid system has been tested by experimental works.
