A voltage control arrangement for a system of multiple windfarms with transmission lines. Voltage is regulated at a point of regulation on the system, such as a high voltage substation or other system bus. Regulation is achieved at the point of regulation by sensing the voltage, comparing to a reference voltage, and adjusting the reactive power output of the wind turbines and other equipment in the system. The regulation point may be shifted to another point if needed to respect voltage limits at that points of the system after attempting to shift reactive load to restore voltage within limits at the other points in the system. The reference voltage may be adjusted to minimize losses for the system of multiple windfarms and transmission lines. A loss optimizing algorithm is applied to the combined multiple windfarm and transmission line to shift reactive load among local windfarms to minimize losses and to shift reactive load among individual wind turbines within an individual windfarm.

The sectional detection method of small current earthing fault of power system, especially single phase long distance system, is suitable for system with several detection units in different sectionsof the line. Each unit variance in zero-sequence voltage or current is used as fault starting condition, the transient zero-sequence current amplitude and initial polarity are calculated, and the main station determines the fault section based on the fault information the detectors report. The basic criterion is that the transient zero-sequence currents on two sides of the fault point have opposite polarity and that each transient zero-sequence current amplitude is proportional inversely to the distance to the fault point. The said method is suitable for system with unearthed neutral point, earthed arc extinguishing coil or high earthing resistance as well as system with reactive load.

A voltage or power conditioning and control device may be used in line with a source of AC line power and a reactive load such as a single-phase induction motor. The device operates to absorb some of the power reflected by the AC load and generate a synthetic power wave to supplement and correct the applied power in level and phase. The device employs a pair of power capacitors, and a pair of electronic switch devices each with a diode in parallel. Gating or command signals are generated based on the line voltage and timing, e.g., zero crossings. The phase or timing of the command signals is selected for a normal or no-boost mode, a voltage boost mode, or a voltage reduction mode. The capacitors are considered in series with the load, and improve the power factor to the load. A variation of this device may be used in conjunction with a solar array or other local power source.

The present invention is illustrated in a method of power factor control for a power regulation system connected for supplying electric power to a reactive load. The system includes a microcomputer for supplying gating signals to an electronic switching device such as a triac for controlling the conduction phase angle of the triac to control the application of alternating current (AC) electric power to the load. The method comprises monitoring of the waveform of the AC voltage applied to the load and determining for each of the half-cycles of the waveform a timed event when the absolute value of the magnitude of the waveform transitions through a reference magnitude. A peak of the voltage waveform is determined. The process is repeated for the AC current waveform and the corresponding peaks of the current waveform identified. The time delay between a designated peak of the voltage waveform and a designated peak of a corresponding half-cycle of the current waveform is representative of the power factor of power supplied to the load and the applied voltage is adjusted in a manner to bring the power factor towards unity, i.e., by reducing the measured time delay. The system also monitors peak values of the AC current and limits the power factor adjustment to prevent current values from falling below a selected minimum value so as to prevent motor stall or overheat. Typically, the adjusting process removes voltage from the load for a portion of each half-cycle of the AC voltage waveform either by gating the triac out of conduction at beginning or end of a half-cycle or by pulse width modulation.
