Simulation and Test Study on Module Based Controllable Shunt Reactor

This paper puts forward a TCR module based new type shunt high voltage reactor, which consists many small capacity thyristor controlled reactor modules and via three-windings transformer connecting to system. The secondary windings of transformer adopt duplex winding structure and each has multi-bank TCR modules being in delta connection. In this topology, the harmonic current injected into the power system is limited remarkably. A 500 kvar/10 kV industrial prototype was developed, and digital simulation based on EMTDC/PSCAD and field test were carried out to verify the characteristics of topology proposed.
