THE ROLE OF STATIC VAR COMPENSATOR AT REACTIVE POWER COMPENSATION

Öz

The need for electricity is increasing and the cost of energy generation is arising. For this reason, it is important to use the generated energy in good quality, safely and efficiently. Reactive power compensation is one of the most effective application to reduce transmission losses, prevent voltage drops, prevent consumers from paying for reactive energy, facilitate operating, increase efficiency and save energy in energy systems. However, due to improvements in semiconductor technology, reactive power compensation systems have gained a new dimension. The power compensation made by the use of semiconductor power elements is called Static VAr Compensation. This compensation is used for the compensation of loads such as arc furnaces, elevators, automotive; paper packaging, food and textile, point welding machines, port cranes, flat welds. Transient events are minimized, losses are reduced, back up possibility, control flexibility and reliability are ensured by using Static VAr Compensation systems in power network. In this study, thyristor triggering angles and power factor values of a system, that contains reactive loads and controlled by Static VAr Compensation, were obtained by using the computer software developed by Microsoft C Sharp (C#) programming language. The results were discussed in terms of importance of using such controlling structures in power networks.
