Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of low-voltage capacitor compensation in power grids, and specifically to a low-voltage capacitor compensation device. Background Technology
[0002] During the operation of the hydropower plant's generating units, the plant's auxiliary power system is powered by the generator units. During the shutdown of all generating units and maintenance of the public system, the load of the auxiliary power system is powered by the power grid. During this period, the inductive loads in the plant need to absorb a large amount of reactive power from the power grid when they are running and starting up, which leads to a decrease in the power factor of the power grid. When it is lower than the power grid's assessment value, it will be subject to assessment by the power grid, which seriously affects the stable operation of the power grid system and the company's direct economic benefits.
