Design and investigation of a 15-kVAR reactive power compensation unit for different load changes

摘要

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań równoległego kompensatora mocy biernej (ang. Reactive Power Compensation Unit) opartego na ośmiostopniowej baterii kondensatorów o mocy 15kVAr w warunkach zmiennego obciążenia. W testach wykorzystano zespól dławików, rezystorów oraz maszynę asynchroniczną.%Reactive Power Compensation Units (RPCUs) are used to supply reactive power for inductive loads. Reactive power is consumed by inductive loads such as electric motors, transformers etc. In this study, a 15-kVAR RPCU was investigated for different load changes. RPCU consists of capacitor equipment in eight stages. To investigate the RPCU, an inductive load bank, a resistive load bank, and an asynchronous motor were used. At the end of the study, a performance analysis of the RPCU was performed for load changes under different conditions.
