[0029] The dielectric 3 inside the capacitor plays the role of storing electrical energy. Common dielectric 3 materials include ceramic, polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyimide. Different dielectrics 3 have different characteristics and performances, and suitable dielectric 3 materials can be selected according to specific application requirements. The electrode 1 of the capacitor is made of a conductive material, and the electrode 1 material is copper foil. The capacitor is usually composed of two electrodes 1, one is the anode (positive electrode) and the other is the cathode (negative electrode). An electric field is formed between the electrode 1 and the dielectric 3, thereby storing electrical energy. The lead 5 of the capacitor is used to connect the capacitor to the circuit. The lead 5 is usually made of a conductive material. The capacitor housing 4 is usually made of an insulating material to protect the internal structure and the dielectric 3. The capacitor housing 4 can have different shapes and sizes to adapt to different installation and use requirements. The internal structure of the capacitor is composed of the dielectric 3, the electrode 1, the lead 5 and the capacitor housing 4. Through the mutual cooperation and combination of these parts, the function of storing and releasing electrical energy is realized. The specific internal structure design can be adjusted and optimized according to the type of capacitor and application requirements.

[0030] In the structure of the capacitor, the following connection relationship exists between the dielectric 3, the electrode 1, the lead 5 and the capacitor housing 4: Connection between the dielectric 3 and the electrode 1: The dielectric 3 is usually in the form of a sheet or a film, and is completely attached to the electrode 1. Usually, a conductive layer or metal foil is coated on the surface of the dielectric 3 as the electrode 1 to ensure good contact between the electrode 1 and the dielectric 3.

Connection between the electrode 1 and the lead 5: The electrode 1 of the capacitor is connected to the external circuit through the lead 5. The electrode 1 usually extends to the outside of the capacitor housing 4 and is connected to the lead 5. The lead 5 can be connected to the electrode 1 by welding, threading or crimping to ensure reliable connection between the capacitor and the circuit. Connection between the lead 5 and the capacitor housing 4: The lead 5 passes through the capacitor housing 4 and is connected to the capacitor housing 4. The connection method is usually that the lead 5 passes through the hole 8 of the capacitor housing 4 and is then fixed to the capacitor housing 4 by welding, crimping or fastening. This ensures good electrical and mechanical connection between the lead 5 and the capacitor housing 4.

[0031] The reactive power compensation capacitors include (EPCOS) single-phase capacitors (C1..C5) with a nominal voltage of 230V and a capacity of 10kVA each. In addition, two parallel 330μF x 400V electrolytic capacitors are included as ST capacitors. The buttons S1..S5 are made of thyristors 40TPS08 and controlled using MOS3083 optocouplers. The buttons ST are made using diode bridges KBPC5010W and IGBT class IRG4PSH71U and are controlled by drivers with optical decoupling type FOD3120. The voltage control and the formation of the control signals are performed by a single-chip microcontroller ATMEL ATmega48PA-PU with a clock frequency of 20MHz. The pre-charge block in the actual implementation is in the form of a series diode 1N5407 and a 220 ohm 100W resistor. At the same time, the number of switches is limited to twice per second by software to overcome the problems caused by the time constant of the ST capacitor charging. If the speed needs to be increased, the power of the pre-charge unit 7 is increased. The controller generates key control signals based on the measurement of load reactive power and the analysis of grid voltage. For example, if the S1 key is needed to connect capacitor C1 to the grid, the controller monitors the maximum value change of the grid voltage and issues a command to open the ST key. Then, when the voltage balance on capacitors C1 and ST is detected, a signal to open the S1 key and close the ST key is generated. This completes the process of connecting capacitor C1 to the grid.

[0032] Working principle of the present invention: Working process of reactive power compensation capacitor: The controller generates key control signals based on the measurement of load reactive power and analysis of grid voltage. When a capacitor needs to be connected to the grid, such as C1, the controller monitors the maximum value change of the grid voltage and issues a command to open the ST key. After the ST key is turned on, capacitor C1 starts to charge, and a stable charging process is achieved through the pre-charging block. When the voltage on capacitor C1 and ST is balanced, the controller generates a signal to turn on the S1 key and turn off the ST key to connect capacitor C1 to the grid. Through the precise control of the controller, the reactive power compensation capacitor can dynamically connect and disconnect each capacitor according to load requirements. Principle of reactive power compensation capacitor: Reactive power compensation capacitor uses (EPCOS) single-phase capacitors and electrolytic capacitors as compensators to adjust the power factor in the system. Buttons S1..S5 are made of thyristor 40TPS08 and controlled by MOS3083 optical coupler to achieve the connection and disconnection of capacitors. The key ST is made of a diode bridge KBPC5010W and an IGBT type IRG4PSH71U, and is controlled by a driver with optical decoupling type FOD3120, which is used to control the charging and discharging of the capacitor. The voltage control and the formation of the control signal are performed by a single-chip microcontroller ATMEL ATmega48PA-PU with a clock frequency of 20MHz, which is used to monitor the load reactive power and the grid voltage and generate key control signals. The pre-charging block is in the form of a series diode 1N5407 and a 220 ohm 100W resistor to achieve a stable charging process of the capacitor. The controller realizes efficient reactive power compensation through precise control and stable operation based on the measurement of the load reactive power and the analysis of the grid voltage. Through the above working process and principle, the reactive power compensation capacitor of the present invention can achieve precise control and stable operation, improve energy utilization, reduce power loss, and effectively perform reactive power compensation.
