| Abstract |
Capacitive divider systems for tapping
electric power from high voltage transmission lines are
known to exhibit certain detrimental problems of stability,
sub-resonance harmonic oscillations, and ferroresonance
when coupled with non-linear loads. On the other hand,
they can improve reactive power flow, power factor and
contribute to improved harmonic filtration of the larger
power system. This paper, therefore, proposes a controlled
power flow conditioner as an essential integral component of
a capacitive divider system to control power transfer
between the high voltage transmission line, capacitive
divider system, and the load. The ultimate objective of this
conditioner is to mitigate or minimize the attendant
problems associated with coupling the system to the load,
and optimize the derivable benefits to the larger network. |
