The History Of Reactive Power Compensation If you are in the power industry, you must have heard of reactive power compensation. But you may not know much about it. What is reactive power compensation? Electricity from the power grid comes in two types: First, there's active power. This is the electricity that does the direct work, turning into motion, heat, chemicals, or sound to...
Introduction to Low Voltage Reactive Power Cabinet Power distribution equipment forms the backbone of modern electrical systems, efficiently managing and allocating electricity to ensure seamless power supply across various sectors. There are control gadgets that help manage how electricity flows, safety features like circuit breakers to prevent accidents, and measuring tools to check how much pow...
Introduction To Capacitors And Reactors Reactance includes inductive reactance and capacitive reactance, and reactor includes inductive reactance (inductor) and capacitive reactance (capacitor). Inductance has the function of blocking AC and blocking DC, that is, in the AC circuit, the characteristics of inductive reactance are used to pass low-frequency DC and block high-frequency AC. The capacit...
What is the power factor correction? Power factor correction (PFC) is a technique used to improve the power factor of an electrical system. Power factor is a measure of how effectively electrical power is being used. It is defined as the ratio of real power (measured in kilowatts, kW) used to perform work to the apparent power (measured in kilovolt-amperes, kVA) drawn from the power source. Power ...
Development history of IGBTThe Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) has revolutionized power electronics since its inception, marking a pivotal milestone in the development of high-efficiency energy conversion systems. Born in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the IGBT emerged as a hybrid semiconductor device that combined the advantages of Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) and Metal-Oxide-Sem...
In today's rapidly advancing world, the reliability and quality of power have become more critical than ever. The interconnected systems and sensitive electronic devices of the modern digital economy require an almost perfect power supply. However, power quality (PQ) issues such as voltage sags, harmonics, and transients remain prevalent, posing significant challenges to utilities and end-users al...
What is the active power compensator? Active Power Compensator (APC) is an advanced power electronic device used to manage and optimize the flow of active power in electrical power systems. It helps to enhance power quality, improve voltage stability, and increase the overall efficiency of the power distribution network. APCs are particularly useful in applications where there are significant fluc...
How SVG compensation for leading reactive power? What kind of load is prone to generating leading power reactive power? Leading power factor conditions typically occur when a system has capacitive loads or a surplus of capacitive reactance over inductive reactance. Capacitive loads store energy in an electric field, unlike inductive loads that store energy in a magnetic field. When these lo...
