Reactor-Capaсitor Device for Flexible Link Between Non-Synchronous Power Systems

Abstract

In present flexible interconnections for transmission of required active power between different power systems is used, as a rule, so-called DC back-to-back link. The aim of this work is the investigation of proposed reactor-capacitor device for flexible connection of asynchronously alternating current power systems with the same nominal values of frequencies for parallel operation. The reactor-capacitor device was elaborated. The installation develops the idea of controlled reactor alternating current link, and provides reactive power balance in the unit and needed value of the output voltage module. The basic characteristics of reactor-capacitor device for controlled power transmission were investigated. Analytical expressions for device elements parameters were derived. These ensure necessary ratio of voltages modules of linked power systems and reactive power balance of the device at circular output voltage vector rotation for a given load admittance. Obtained parameters ensure constant active power flow between linked asynchronously power systems and device reactive power internal balance.
