Beschreibung
The comprehensive resource on reactive power compensation,presenting the design, application and operation of reactive powerequipment and installations
The area of reactive power compensation is gaining increasingimportance worldwide. If suitably designed, it is capable ofimproving voltage quality significantly, meaning that losses inequipment and power systems are reduced, the permissible loading ofequipment can be increased, and the over-all stability of systemoperation improved. Ultimately, energy use and CO2emisson are reduced.
This unique guide discusses the effects of reactive power ongeneration, transmission and distribution, and looks at thecompensation of existing installations in detail. It outlinesmethods for determination of reactive power and answers thequestions that arise when controlling it, for example, at paralleloperation with generators. There is also a chapter devoted toinstallation, maintenance and disturbances.
Key features include:
* A concise overview as well as deep specific knowledge on thesegment power factor regulation and network quality
* Theory of reactive power compensation coupled with typicalapplication examples such as car manufacturing, metal rolling andchemical works
* Chapter summaries with charts explaining how to put the theoryinto practice
* Coverage on the cost-saving aspects of this technology,including the efficient use of energy and the reduction ofCO2
A practical guide for electrical engineers and technicians inutilities, this is also essential reading for maintenanceengineers, designers, electrical contractors, manufacturingcompanies, and researchers, also those in industry and planningagencies. Insightful and clear, the book will also appeal to seniorundergraduate and graduate electrical engineering students andprofessors.
