CONTROLLED SHUNT REACTORS FOR ELECTRIC NETWORKS
Abstract
The article presents results of the research and design of controlled shunt alternative current reactors (CSR). The analysis of domestic and foreign experience of the development and deployment of CSR is performed, the effectiveness of their applications in power systems is assessed and results of the tests of samples CSR-220 kV and above are shown. Constructive features of CSR circuit are described; technical characteristics of the CSR-220, 500 kV are given. The prospects for widespread introduction of CSR for the control of power systems regimes are shown. The application of CSR in combination with other control devices such as FACTS allows, based on high-voltage lines of high capacity, creating controlled transmission lines of new generation, which corresponds to all necessary requirements with time-developing power systems and its associations.
