Description

[0001] A REACTIVE POWER CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The invention relates to a reactive power control system and method, comprising a first three-phase current transformer connection connected to the grid.

[0003] PRIOR ART

[0004] Conventional reactive power control relays have been developed solely for the purpose of controlling reactive power. These systems aim to meet the reactive power requirements of the grid by enabling the switching on and switching off of capacitors. However, these relays are unable to detect whether capacitors and other components are malfunctioning or actively running in the circuit.

[0005] Another important limitation of existing systems is the inability to monitor energy stages and the inability to detect malfunctions in advance. In the event of a failure of capacitors or system components, the user is usually only aware of the loss of performance of the system or an increase in energy costs. This can delay maintenance and repair processes, leading to greater energy losses and high costs.

[0006] In addition, conventional systems lack the infrastructure capable of simultaneously monitoring and optimizing the grid and compensation panel. This leads to inefficient energy optimization. These shortcomings lead existing reactive power control systems to face severe limitations in terms of reliability, efficiency, and energy savings.

[0007] As a result, all the above-mentioned problems have made it imperative to make an innovation in the relevant technical field.

[0008] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to a reactive power control system and method for eliminating the above-mentioned disadvantages and bringing new advantages to the relevant technical field.

[0012] Another object of the invention is to increase the performance of the system through energy optimization and to introduce a reactive power control system and method that reduces energy costs.

[0013] In order to achieve all the purposes mentioned above and that will emerge from the detailed description below, the present invention is a reactive power control system comprising a first three-current transformers connected to the grid. Accordingly, its novelty is that it comprises a second three-current transformer connected to the compensation panel, an energy stage monitoring module processing the data received from the first and second three-current transformers, and a malfunction detection and energy optimization module providing energy optimization by detecting malfunctions of capacitors and other components. Thus, both the grid and the compensation panel are monitored simultaneously and energy optimization is ensured. In addition, maintenance processes are improved by early detection of malfunctions of capacitors and other components or by detection at the time of malfunction.

Thus, compensation is provided in accordance with the energy demand and the performance of the system is increased. In addition, compensation efficiency is optimized.

[0015] Another possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the second three-current transformer connected to the compensation panel is configured to detect whether the capacitors in the compensation panel are switched on. Thus, the control of the capacitors that are switched on or switched off is ensured and the faulty stages are prevented from being switched on or damaged. Thus, the reliability of the system is increased.

[0018] Another possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the data received by the control unit from the grid and the compensation panel is analyzed simultaneously. Thus, reactive power control is carried out quickly and accurately, and compensation optimization is achieved. In addition, system performance is constantly monitored.

[0019] Another possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that a software algorithm for monitoring energy consumption and optimizing the performance of the reactive power control system is implemented. Thus, energy consumption is optimized and energy efficiency is increased without the need for manual control. In addition, operational errors are minimized.Another possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the system reports are generated by recording the switching on and switching off of capacitors and contactors.

[0023] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0024] In this detailed description, a reactive power control system and method of the invention is explained by way of example only for a better understanding of the subject, which shall not create any limiting effect.

[0025] Figure 1 schematically shows a reactive power control system. A reactive power control system (10) is a system containing six-current transformers, designed for use in reactive power compensation and energy monitoring systems. The system (10) of the invention shown in Figure 1 comprises a first three-current transformer (100) connected to the grid and a second three-current transformer (101 ) connected to the compensation panel. The data received from the first (100) and second (101) current transformers are processed by the energy stage monitoring module (102), and the malfunctions of capacitors and other components are determined by the malfunction detection and energy optimization module (103) and energy efficiency is optimized.

[0026] The first three-current transformer (100) is set to continuously monitor the reactive power requirement in the grid. Continuous monitoring of the reactive power demand in the grid enables compensation in accordance with the energy demand and improves the performance of the system.The second three-current transformer (101) is configured to detect whether the capacitors in the compensation panel are switched on. In this way, the status of the capacitors is monitored and the control of the capacitors that are switched on or switched off is achieved. Thus, energy losses are prevented and the reliability of the system is increased.

[0027] Figure 2 shows the flowchart of a reactive power control method. The reactive power control method (20) comprises a series of process steps that increase the functionality of the system. In a reactive power control method (20) shown in Figure 2, firstly, a first three-current transformer (100) is electrically connected to the grid and a second-three-current transformer (101 ) is electrically connected to the compensation panel, and usage of six-current transformers is provided (200). The data received from the six-current transformers are used for monitoring of energy stages (201). During the monitoring of energy stages, malfunctions of capacitors and other components are detected and compensation optimization is ensured (202).

[0028] During malfunction detection and energy optimization, the condition of capacitors and other components is evaluated and maintenance requirements are determined. This feature ensures that downtime caused by malfunctions in the system is prevented and maintenance processes are planned more effectively.

[0029] The data received from the grid and the compensation panel are analyzed simultaneously by the control unit. This makes it possible to combine data from two different sources and enables real-time analysis. Therefore, system performance is constantly monitored.

[0030] In the reactive power control method (20) for the operation of the system, a software algorithm is implemented to monitor energy consumption and optimize the performance thereof. This algorithm allows energy consumption to be managed more efficiently and reduces the need for manual intervention. In addition, energy efficiency is increased and operational costs for the user are reduced.

[0031] Finally, system reports are generated by recording the switching on and switching off of capacitors and other components. These reports provide comprehensive information on the performance of the system and make energy management processes more efficient.The scope of protection of the invention is specified in the appended claims and cannot be limited to what is described for illustrative purposes in this detailed description. It is clear that a person skilled in the art can produce similar embodiments in the light of what is explained above, without deviating from the main theme of the invention.
