The circuit diagram of compensation capacitors and peripheral hardware in the implemented hybrid reactive power compensation system is also given in Fig. 7. As can be seen in this figure, there are six single-phase and two three-phase capacitors. Rated powers of each capacitor are also shown in the same figure.
The controller, after some calculations, decides on the capacitor stages closest to these powers and activates them. However, after the capacitors are switched on/off, unlike conventional capacitor switched compensation systems, the reactive powers drawn from each phase of the grid must be of the same type.
The recommended practice is to size the capacitor to around 80% of the reactive power demand at no load condition. Overcompensation of motors is often is not intentional and usually happens when motors are relocated to a new starter location or when swapping motors with different magnetizing characteristics.
A coordinated active and reactive power distribution method and an optimized reactive power compensation algorithm are proposed to improve the system operation stability and reliability [23, 24]. However, these methods can not completely compensate for reactive power and don't suit reactive power dynamic compensation during the motor startup.
Although switched capacitors are cost-effective, it is almost impossible to achieve full reactive power compensation with them. Other tools that their reactive power outputs are fully controllable are expensive solutions.
In the first case, assuming that only capacitors exist in the compensation system, classical reactive power compensation was applied. In the second case, hybrid compensation was done by using hybrid reactive power system with synchronous motor, which is the subject and purpose of this study.
