Energetical factors in power systems with nonlinear loads

Contents

The classical definitions for the energetical determining factors in power systems are reviewed and a new model for the apparent power is suggested. — Based on the volt-ampere characteristic of the nonlinear load, an equivalent circuit, containing linear elements, can be determined. In this way, load-flow and harmonic compensation studies can be simplified.

Übersicht

In der Arbeit werden zunächst die klassischen Definitionen erörtert; darauf basierend wird ein neues Modell für die Scheinleistung vorgeschlagen, das zu einer Ersatzschaltung mit linearen Elementen führt. Damit lassen sich z. B. Lastflußberechnungen und Kompensationsstudien vereinfachen.
