4. System and project description
4.1 System description The solid-state electronic shunt device is a power electronic primary power delivery (distribution) system element that is connected in parallel with a primary power delivery circuit typically via a coupling transformer. The device supplies reactive power to, as well as absorbs reactive power from, the power delivery system, either to regulate voltage to a set point value or inject reactive power as specified by the user.
The most frequent function of the device is to dynamically regulate the load voltage of a sensitive load by rapid reactive power exchange. Optionally, the device may be equipped with a four-quadrant control and energy storage subsystem to allow voltage control by both real and reactive power exchange with the system. Figure 1 shows an example for the circuit diagram of a solid-state electronic shunt device used for compensating voltage fuctuations by reactive power injection or absorption. In case of a voltage disturbance on the utility feeder, the device injects an appropriate amount of reactive power to maintain the feeder voltage. In Figure 1, a converter (dc to ac converter) generates ac voltage and injects or absorbs reactive or active power through a coupling transformer secondary connected in parallel with the feeder. A dc link provides the input voltage and stored energy to the inverter.
The inverter uses the energy stored in a capacitor or other kinds of energy storage devices [such as batteries, a superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) device, or a fywheel through a suitable converter] or from an ac source (supply feeder) through a rectifer.
The device may or may not require dedicated energy storage, depending on the anticipated magnitude of sag or swell. The device controls can help minimize the need for energy storage during unbalanced fuctuation by charging the dc bus from the high (unaffected or swelled) voltage phase(s). Suffcient stored energy must be provided to allow the device to compensate fuctuation of maximum expected duration. In order to interface the device with the power delivery network, additional equipment should be provided, including current and potential transformers, surge arresters, isolation breakers, disconnect switches, and three-phase low-voltage service for auxiliary power. Surge arresters may not be required for all installations.
Figure 1 is a representative example for the dynamic compensation device. However, other system confgurations are available. Clause 4 may not be included in the specifcation issued by the purchaser.
4.2 Project description This specification defines the project performance and scope to furnish, install, test, commission, operate, warrant, train user personnel, and place into commercial operation an electronic device for compensation of voltage fluctuations at <(general location)> The purpose of the device is to correct the voltage of <(feeder name)>, connected to <(location)> point.
The device should dynamically maintain voltage at acceptable levels to the above feeder during momentarily voltage fuctuations (both balanced and unbalanced) that occur on the feeder, assuming that the voltage deviation is within the device ratings. As an additional feature, the device may be used for steady-state voltage regulation of a load and phase balancing of line voltages.IEEE 1623 pdf download.
