The Implementation of Energy-Saving Technologies for Reactive Power Compensation in Grids of All Voltage Levels Based on Static Converters

Abstract

In this paper, the technology of increasing the level of energy-saving due to the effective compensation of reactive power (RP) is considered in electric power grids of high and ultra-high voltage. For these grids, two variants of hardware implementation of static compensation devices of reactive power, based on capacitor batteries and power transformer equipment, have been developed. The conclusions are made about economic feasibility of the application of the developed devices in modern electric power systems (EPS) on the basis of the analysis of the obtained technical and economic characteristics of these devices
