Robust control of reactive power and voltage is crucial for the stable and efficient operation of wind farms, particularly as renewable penetration increases worldwide. Contemporary strategies ...

The distribution system, a key subset of the overall electric grid, provides power to residential, commercial and industrial customers. Voltage and reactive power management and control have been done ...

Electricity transmission network operators are being tasked with adding more renewable energy resources to the power grid. The use of static VAR compensators (SVCs) is growing as a means to control ...

Hoymiles is unveiling its 4-in-1 microinverter, the HM-1200, which is the first designed with reactive power control for 4 solar panels. It still offers the same features as Hoymiles former released ...

6 June 2006 – GE Energy has announced the availability of two technologies addressing the growing industry requirements for improved methods of integrating wind power into electrical grids. The ...

In its latest monthly column for pv magazine, IEA-PVPS provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art practices, best practices, and recommendations for managing reactive power amidst the ...

The traditional grid has been reliable because it is centralized. When a customer flips a switch, the lights turn on. Originally, the grid was designed with large generators accounting for much of the ...

It would be a masterpiece of understatement to suggest that control loop compensation holds much significance in power converter design. This is true in part because of increasing demand for ...

Power factor correction is a frequently misunderstood topic. Improper techniques can result in over-correction, under-correction, and/or harmonic resonance, so it can be helpful to understand the ...

Utility power plant generators are usually designed for a power factor (PF) of .8 to .9. If demand-side PF is lower than the designed PF, the generator current will rise above the equipment's rated ...
