By improving the power factor, the customer can reduce its power demand and potentially increase efficiency of their equipment. A PIC microcontroller is used to switch capacitor banks to compensate for the reactive power. In order to determine the size of the capacitor bank needed, the microcontroller calculates the phase difference between the voltage and the current. The results obtained based on the lagging power factor for three test loads show an improvement in the power factor from 0.52 to 0.96 under different test load conditions.展开更多

Robust analytical expressions were utilized to exploit the functionality of the proposed solutions and to show clearly the relation between the reactive power and control variables. The article, moreover, proposes a simple, innovative and robust analysis for static performance of the STATCOM. This approach shows clearly the advantages of the STA-TCOM in regulating reactive power and maintaining load voltage level within presumable limits. The approach, furthermore, reveals explicitly via analytical expressions the impact of the STATCOM operation on different aspects of the power system under concern.展开更多

The main results obtained during this study are: a reduction in subscribed power from 14913.978 kVA to 14010.100 kVA, a reduction in the transformer load rate from 99.4% to 93.4%, a reduction in reactive power called from 5481.729 kVAr to 481.729 kVAr, an increase in the active power transported by the substation from 8505.062 kW to 8962.323 kW, a reduction in the voltage drop from 4.8% to 3.9%, an increase in the power available at the secondary of the transformer station at full load from 13950 kW to 14700 kW and an annual electrical energy saving of 339943.48 kWh of electrical energy, therefore fuel savings and a reduction in CO<sub>2</sub> and SO<sub>2</sub> emissions due to this energy saving will be achieved. The installation of capacitor banks for optimization of reactive energy allowed a reduction in the current called therefore a reduction in the absorbed power: 14153.061 kVA, i.e. a reduction of 903.876 kVA. It is therefore essential that energy players are convinced of the need to install capacitors to reduce or even eliminate their reactive energy bill. This is necessarily accompanied by an investment by Electricité De Guinée by setting up active and reactive energy meters but also by implementing pricing in line with the reduction in the transfer of reactive energy in the network.展开更多
