New Hybrid Static VAR Compensator with Series Active Filter

Abstract

This paper proposes a new hybrid static VAR compensator (SVC) with a series active filter (AF). The proposed hybrid SVC consists of a series AF and SVC. The series AF, which is connected in series to phase-leading capacitors in the SVC, performs for a resistor for source-side harmonic currents. A sinusoidal source current with a unity power factor is obtained with the series AF, although the thyristor-controlled reactor generates harmonic currents. A digital computer simulation was implemented to confirm the validity and high practicability of the proposed hybrid SVC using PSIM software. The simulation results demonstrate that sinusoidal source currents with a unity power factor are achieved with the proposed hybrid SVC.

Constructing a method of multi­coordinate control over the static thyristor compensators with forced commutation

“…Three schemes of power circuits of hybrid static compensators were proposed in work [13]. All of them include the thyristor-controlled reactors and differ in the configuration of active filters.…”

Start-Up Control of a Synchronous Condenser Integrated HVDC System With Power Electronics Based Static Frequency Converter

“…The synchronization control is activated at this stage to capture the synchronizing integration point. The synchronous condenser is connected into the system by closing the integration circuit breaker when the rotor speed is close to 3000 rpm [21], [22].…”
