THE DECOMPOSITION OF ELECTRICAL NETWORKS FOR REACTIVE POWER OPTIMIZATION

Abstract

Since the process of production, transmission and consumption of reactive power in electric networks are inseparable physically; the state of the electrical network should be taken into account during the management of compensating units   for reactive power optimization. On other hand this problem is solved in the local networks in practice, so it is needed the separation of the completely electrical network. The method of electrical network decomposition that allows managing capacity compensating units in the local network with taking into account the influence of other networks was developed. The proposed method can simplify the management of capacity compensating installations in the electrical network. For example, the analysis of condenser units management in industrial enterprise based on the decomposition of its electrical network was done and the capacity capacitors management to provide a given input reactive power at maximum reduction of energy losses was fulfilled.
