This article presents an efficient voltage regulation method using capacitive reactive power. Simultaneous operation of photovoltaic power systems with the local grids induces voltage instabilities in the distribution lines. These voltage fluctuations cross the allowable limits on several occasions and cause economic losses.
The capacitive reactive power is generated through the capacitance producing devices serially or shunt connected to a load , , . A significant amount of studies was devoted to the methods to produce reactive power, such as DSTATCOMs , , , STATCOM , , , and real electrical capacitors .
In the first step, the load voltage and source current variations during capacitive power control were investigated. The load impedance was established to Z L = 67.6 + j 33.0 Ω with cosφ = 0.9 for definiteness. Fig. 6.
Five capacitors are considered in the binary distribution of capacitance to maintain the efficiency of control system functionality. The accuracy of a capacitance selection is equal to ~3.1%. Also, it is mentioned that the voltage control can be ~3% with the bank of 5 capacitors (binary dispersed).
The control circuit compares the total generated PV power and load voltage with the rated value. Now, capacitance magnitude is decided using eq. (28) as per the voltage fluctuations. Further, special capacitors from the bank (C1…C5) are selected, which provide the required capacitance.
Initially, a strict analytical solution is developed to study the outcome of capacitance connection at load. The capacitance is selected based on the analytical solution of non-linear equations describing voltage deviations in the distribution line connected with photovoltaic systems.
Reactive Power Compensation of Power Capacitor Banks
However, the reactive power supplied by the generator and the high-voltage transmission line is far from meeting the needs of the load, so some reactive compensation devices should be set up in the power grid to supplement the reactive power to ensure the user''s needs for reactive power, so that the electrical equipment can work under the rated voltage.
