| Abstract |
A novel technique for building reactive power compensators using the switched capacitor technique (Darwish, 1987) is presented. Normally, when switched-capacitors are used for reactive power compensation they are operated at the supply frequency. However, in the proposed technique the capacitors are switched at higher frequencies (typically 800Hz). The main advantages of this approach is that it provides a stepless variation in reactive power without the generation of harmonics as is the case with the conventional approach. This paper includes the details of theoretical and experimental investigation carried out at Brunel to assess the new technique. |
