THE METHODS OF REACTIVE POWER COMPENSATION IN THE 25 kV, 50 Hz CONTACT NETWORK

Abstract

The article analyses theoretical and practical solutions of reactive power compensation in the power grid of 25 kV, 50 Hz of the catenary. The article presents theoretical and practical studies (by providing circuits for connecting capacitor banks, structural circuits diagrams for the automatic control reactive power level, and calculating the parameters of capacitor banks) for the compensation of reactive power.
