STATCOM

STATCOM is used for reactive power compensation and active filtering

STATCOM can enhance transmission transfer limits up to 50% through

power factor improvement and realtime voltage support, thereby alleviating thermal overload conditions and improving power quality

for remote energy users.

Power ratings (KVA)

Reactive Power ratings (KVAr)

Rated voltage (Medium or low voltage) Frequency Inverter nominal current Inverter maximum current Maximum harmonic order that it is able to compensate Maximum number of harmonics it can compensate at the same time Response time to load current changes Efficiency Filtering efficiency

POWER QUALITY FILTER (PQF) BY ABB

PQF models are built with IGBT Inverters bridge controlled wiyh PWM

technology
Filtering capacity up to 97% Can compensate up to 20 harmonic components at the same time, the maximum being 50th component. Harmonic filtering is main priority but reactive power compensation is possible PQF has no neutral connection and does not filter zero sequence harmonics. Response time in front of load changes are lower than 40ms.

SIEMENS POWER CONDITIONER PARALLEL (SIPCPON P) BY SIEMENS AG

The APF designed by Siemens is able to compensate reactive power, load

current balancing, harmonics filtering and flicker compensation.

SIPCON P models are built with IGBT inverters bridge controlled with PWM technology

Active filtering up to 4 current harmonic components (5th,7th,11th,13th ) at the

same time with highest component to compensate as 13th . Response time in front of current harmonic changes is less than 20ms SIPCON P models have basically 2 control modes

Standard mode: SIPCON P provides its full or half power for Harmonic filtering and load balancing, reactive power can be done.

Flicker mode: whole equipment power is provided for flicker compensation.

DYNAMIC VOLTAGE RESTORERS (DVR)

DVR injects AC, 3 phase voltage of considerable magnitude and

frequency through a coupling transformer

So the DVR is able to increase quality of the load when quality voltage is out of specified limits

The main applications of DVR are

Voltage sag compensation Voltage swell and overvoltage compensation Voltage harmonic compensation Balancing of voltage asymmetric systems

DYNAMIC VOLTAGE RESTORERS (DVR)

Power (KVA) and Voltage (V) ratings

Reactive Power ratings (KVAr)

Percentage of voltage sag and swell capable to compensate Switching Frequency nominal current and maximum current Time Response System used to store energy, capacity and recharge time. Efficiency and price

DYNAMIC VOLTAGE RESTORERS (DVR)

SIEMENS SIPCON S-DVR

Able to compensate voltage sags and swells within 2 or 3 ms, balance

the asymmetric network voltage and harmonic voltage compensation up to the 13th harmonic.

Can compensate voltage sags indefinitely. However voltage sags

higher than 50% cannot be compensated

ABBs prototype of DVR

Injection capacity in 1 phase: 50% of nominal voltage Injection capacity in 3 phase: 38% of nominal voltage Response time: 1ms

SSB and SSTS

The solid state breaker(SSB) based on GTO or thyristor switch technology is a fast acting sub cycle breaker that can instantaneously operate to clear an electrical fault from the power system.

SSB can be applied in a single switch, solid state transfer switch (SSTS), a tie breaker, or a low level fault interrupter.\ SSTS may consist of 2 parallel connected circuit branches: a solid state switch composed of GTOs or thyristors, and another switch using SCRs or mechanical switch

A high voltage SSTS can provide nearly uninterruptible power to critical distribution served customers who have 2 independent power sources.

SSTS can rapidly transfer sensitive loads from normal supply to backup supply in case of disturbance in normal supply.

PREMIUM POWER PARK

This concept requires integration of power quality devices within a

utilitys distribution system , which could provide consumers with

electronically controlled, cost-effective, nearly undisturbed power.

The concept can be applied to either a new development or upgrade

of existing property.
Functions such as pf correction and power conditioning would become the responsibility of Premium Power Park operators.

The Park operations center receives power from multiple distribution

feeders and then distribute power to consumers in the Park.

FRIENDS

Flexible, Reliable and Intelligent Electrical eNergy Delivery Systems. With FRIENDS power systems can be operated without supply

interruption by flexibly changing distribution system configuration after

a fault occurs.

Flexibility in system reconfiguration Power supply reliability Multi-menu service for customers to select power quality and suppliers Dispersed Generators(DGs) and Dispersed energy storage systems(DESSs)

allocated near demand side

Load leveling and energy conservation Enhancement of information services to consumers

Effective Demand Side Management (DSM)

CONCLUSIONS

STATCOM ,DVR, SSTS and other power quality improvement devices

are available in market with wide range of power ratings

Advance and commercial availability of high power semiconductors increase opportunity and cost effectiveness of PQ control and

improvement technologies.

FRIENDS and Premium Power Park provide schemes for improvement in PQ, energy conservation etc.
