The high penetration of renewable generations, underground cables and daily/seasonal loads have introduced more uncertainties and technical challenges in distribution systems. These challenges may result in reactive power flow issues which may not be controlled effectively and end up with voltage regulation problems through the distribution network.
Genetek’s iVSR series shunt reactors provide the power for voltage regulation or reactive power control. They can provide reactive power in steps to control reactive power flow or regulate voltage through reactive power.
Voltage regulation is one of the critical power quality aspects in power systems. Due to this requirement, the voltage level must always be kept within the defined upper and lower limits. Loads that vary substantially between peak and off-peak times or even seasonally can result in distortions in voltage profile through the feeder. Due to these extremes, shunt reactors are required to be installed in most cases. iVSR series shunt reactors are perfectly suited to the need to regulate voltage or support Volt/VAr control in the network.
