AN ELECTRIC SYSTEM INCLUDING APPARATUS FOR COMPENSATING REACTIVE POWER BY CURRENTSOURCE TYPE CONVERTER

摘要

A first apparatus for determining instantaneous reactive currents to determine instantaneous reactive currents in every phase of a three-phase load. Three phase current signals corresponding, respectively, to phase currents of the three-phase load supplied from a three-phase power-supply source are multiplied with sinusoidal wave signals of three phases, each of which has a phase difference of 90 DEG relative to the corresponding phase voltage of the three-phase power supply source to obtain the products for three phase, respectively, which products are added together to produce a sum signal. The instantaneous reactive currents mentioned above are determined on the basis of the sum signal and the three phase sinusoidal wave signals. A second apparatus for compensating the reactive power of the three-phase load by means of a converter load circuit including a current-source type three phase converter connected in parallel with the three-phase load by making use of the instantaneous reactive currents of the three-phase load determined by the first mentioned apparatus.
