In the past, rotating synchronous condensers and fixed or mechanically switched inductors or capacitors have been used for reactive power compensation. Today, static Var generators employ thyristor-switched capacitors and thyristor-controlled reactors to provide reactive power compensation.
There are different technologies for reactive power compensation, these includes; Capacitor Bank, Series Compensator, Shunt Reactor, Static Var Compensator (SVC), Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM), and Synchronous Condenser.
The controller, after some calculations, decides on the capacitor stages closest to these powers and activates them. However, after the capacitors are switched on/off, unlike conventional capacitor switched compensation systems, the reactive powers drawn from each phase of the grid must be of the same type.
The circuit diagram of compensation capacitors and peripheral hardware in the implemented hybrid reactive power compensation system is also given in Fig. 7. As can be seen in this figure, there are six single-phase and two three-phase capacitors. Rated powers of each capacitor are also shown in the same figure.
Although switched capacitors are cost-effective, it is almost impossible to achieve full reactive power compensation with them. Other tools that their reactive power outputs are fully controllable are expensive solutions.
Once the problems of reactive power generation, transmission and distribution have been exposed, we will proceed to describe the actions that the customers can adopt in order to avoid or minimize the corresponding penalization in the electricity bill. These actions are covered by the denomination ‘reactive power compensation’.
