Hybrid Var Compensator (HVC) is a cost-effective, modular, and high-performance solution that mitigates power quality problems like low power factor, harmonics, and unbalances, to ensure grid power quality and reliability.
1. Hybrid var compensator Overview
Hybrid var compensator(HVC) combines the technical advantages of AHF and SVG with the cost-effectiveness of a traditional contactor or thyristor switch detuning filter capacitor bank to form an economic stepless real-time compensator.
Hybrid var compensator(HVC) offer different functions:
Eliminate harmonic current and voltage
Power factor correction (lag or lead)
Load balancing in the three-phase system
2. Hybrid var compensator Operating principle
HVC uses the capacitor bank steps to fulfill the maximum capacitive reactive power requirements of the power system, and the AHF and SVG in the HVC take care of the extra continuous compensation (capacitive or inductive) required.At the same time, the HVC can filter out the harmonics of the system and reduce the three-phase unbalance.
Capacitor banks in HVC are directly controlled by AHF and SVG through RS485 or DO signals, RS485 is used for intelligent capacitors, and DO signals are used for ordinary capacitors.
