Innovative method of compensating reactive capacitive power in distribution networks

Abstract

Given the relatively low cost of dry power transformers compared to shunt reactors, a non-standard, but technically efficient and cost-effective solution for regulating the power consumption to compensate for medium voltage cable lines is the use of dry power transformers. To investigate this possibility, the report explores a sub magnetization of one of the coils of power distribution transformers by means of a frequency controller for asynchronous motors controlled by an programmable logic controller.
