Static thyristor compensators
Static thyristor compensator is a device that provides voltage stabilization and reactive power compensation in electrical networks and in nodes of connection of sharply variable loads.
connection nodes of sharply variable loads.
This equipment is designed in two main modifications:
STCs are designed to optimize the operation modes of power grids in order to increase the transmission capacity and stability of power lines. capacity and stability of transmission lines, voltage stabilization in load nodes, reduction of power losses and improvement of its quality. of electric power and improve its quality. The following functions are performed:
Industrial application of thyristor electric drives, rectifier electrolysis plants, powerful electric arc furnaces, rolling mills and other electric power consumers with sharply variable load and other electric power consumers with sharply variable load electric arc furnaces, rolling mills and other electric power consumers with sharply variable load and non-sinusoidal current are accompanied by significant consumption of reactive power and distortion of the power supply. non-sinusoidal current is accompanied by a significant consumption of reactive power and distortion of the supply voltage. voltage, which can lead to increased power losses, deterioration and disruption of the normal functioning of the electric power consumer.
These consumers include, first of all, metallurgical plants, chemical plants, non-ferrous metallurgy plants, pulp and paper plants, electrochemical metal processing plants and electrochemical plants. non-ferrous metallurgy, pulp and paper enterprises, enterprises for electrochemical processing of metals and gemstone processing plants, electric arc and resistance welding plants, conventional plants, using gas-discharge lamps for lighting, oil, gas and coal mining enterprises, irrigation enterprises with electric motors of various types, and other enterprises.
