REACTIVE POWER COMPENSATION AND MANAGEMENT( SYLLABUS MTECH-EPS ELECTIVE II SEM)

UNIT-I: LOAD COMPENSATION
Objectives and specifications – reactive power characteristics – inductive and capacitive
approximate biasing – Load compensator as a voltage regulator – phase balancing and power
factor correction of unsymmetrical loads- examples.
UNIT-II: STEADY – STATE REACTIVE POWER COMPENSATION
IN TRANSMISSION SYSTEM
Uncompensated line – types of compensation – Passive shunt and series and dynamic shunt
compensation –examples
Transient state reactive power compensation in transmission systems:
Characteristic time periods – passive shunt compensation – static compensations- series
capacitor compensation –compensation using synchronous condensers – examples

UNIT-III: REACTIVE POWER COORDINATION
Objective – Mathematical modeling – Operation planning – transmission benefits – Basic
concepts of quality of power supply – disturbances- steady –state variations – effects of under
voltages – frequency –Harmonics, radio frequency and electromagnetic interferences
UNIT-IV: DEMAND SIDE MANAGEMENT
Load patterns – basic methods load shaping – power tariffs- KVAR based tariffs penalties for
voltage flickers and Harmonic voltage levels
Distribution side Reactive power Management:
System losses –loss reduction methods – examples – Reactive power planning – objectives –
Economics Planning capacitor placement – retrofitting of capacitor banks
UNIT-V: USER SIDE REACTIVE POWER MANAGEMENT
KVAR requirements for domestic appliances – Purpose of using capacitors – selection of
capacitors – deciding factors – types of available capacitor, characteristics and Limitations
Reactive power management in electric traction systems and are furnaces:
Typical layout of traction systems – reactive power control requirements – distribution
transformers- Electric arc furnaces – basic operations- furnaces transformer –filter requirements –
remedial measures –power factor of an arc furnace
