  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

The article discusses the technology of constructing modern semiconductor reactive power regulators (SRPRs) designed to operate as part of electrical networks featuring distributed automation. In this work, requirements for modern devices regarding the regulation and compensation of reactive power in electrical networks are formulated. An approach to the construction of high-speed static reactive power compensators (SRPCs) is proposed based on the use of thyristor-switched topologies for constructing reactive power sources and operating under the control of modern digital control systems. The article also presents the characteristics of the proposed SRPCs and describes their modes of operation. The results of the pilot operation of a prototype SRPC at the Rosseti Lenenergo facility are presented, thus confirming a wide range of functional capabilities of the proposed technical solution for constructing an SRPC. The prospects for the application of innovative SRPCs in creating contemporary electrical networks and the key directions of technology development are also described.
