The compensation principle of reactive power compensation capacitors mainly utilizes the characteristics of capacitors in AC circuits to improve power quality and enhance the efficiency of power systems by providing reactive power. In the power system, especially in industrial loads, there are a large number of inductive loads such as electric motors, ADS8412IBPFB transformers, etc. These loads consume reactive power and cause a decrease in system power factor. Low power factor can have various adverse effects, including increased line loss, reduced transmission efficiency, and increased energy costs. Therefore, using reactive power compensation diode technology to improve power factor and reduce the transmission of reactive power is one of the important means to improve energy efficiency and save energy.diode
Compensation principle of reactive power compensation capacitordiode
The basic principle of reactive power compensation is to use the capacitive reactive power provided by capacitors to offset the inductive reactive power in the system, thereby achieving the purpose of compensation. Capacitors consume negative reactive power in AC circuits, while inductive loads consume positive reactive power. By adding capacitors appropriately in the system, these two types of reactive power can offset each other to a certain extent, reducing the total reactive power demand of the system and improving the power factor.
