2 Power Systems Manufacturer Zhifeng is a well-established power systems manufacturer, offering premium energy products and services. The shunt reactor, one of the vital equipment in power systems that Zhifeng is good at. Shunt Reactor Application As we have seen, within a power system shunt reactors are capable of providing significant benefits in increasing the efficiency, stability and reliability.In this article, let's discuss the importance/utility of using shunts in power systems and how they can be used for optimizing the efficiency, improving control and reliability performance of a system.
Keywords -Shunt reactors, power systems, reactive power flow 1 Introduction Power system is a complex network of generation, transmission and distribution. Removing reactive power input shunt reactance enable power systems to be operated at ideal level, thereby conserving energy and enhancing the efficiency of the system as a whole. Power companies save costs and electric users get electricity delivered in a more efficient and ecological way.
Shunt reactors are considered as one of the most important equipment for improving power quality and system dynamic performance in power systems. Shunt reactors are used to stabilise the voltage on the transmission system by absorbing active power that arises due to reactive currents in low load, and light wind or energy flow conditions. This becomes particularly crucial in averting voltage fluctuations and blackouts, so that consumers can get a reliable source of good quality electricity. Furthermore, shunt reactors contribute to the increased power factor of the grid and subsequently improve the network’s overall quality and security.
In power systems, resistive losses and reactive power flow can cause energy losses. To minimize the energy losses in the system, shunt reactors are connected in order to absorb surplus reactive power. Reducing energy losses, shunt reactors contribute to power transmission system efficiency and thus enable cost reduction for the utilities’ power generation and transportation.
Voltage regulation is an important factor in power systems because of the damage equipment and outages that can occur during voltage variation. Shunt reactors are employed in high-voltage power systems to control system voltage and maintain its stability by providing a constant source of power. Shunt reactors contribute to supporting reactive power and facilitating voltage control, thus they also can enhance the quality of the power system's voltage.
The reliability of an electric power system is very important to provide continuous electric energy supply to the customers. Shunt reactors play an important role in enhancing the reliability of power systems by compensating reactive power and stabilizing voltage level. It also minimizes voltage sags, surges and variations that can disrupt equipment performance or cause power interruptions. Shunt reactors are essential for stabilizing and securing power systems and guarantee a stable and reliable power supply to consumers.
