Before the modernization of reactive power compensation, the facility was using outdated capacitor-based compensation systems. Due to the increased level of network harmonics, these systems no longer provided effective compensation, operated unstably, and posed risks of equipment overheating and potential fire hazards.

‍

Problem

The existing capacitor-based reactive power compensation equipment did not provide the required functionality, operated inefficiently, and posed a fire hazard. This resulted in increased electricity consumption and higher operating costs.

Solution

Considering the situation, a decision was made to install a 22 × 200 A Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) system, which simultaneously filters harmonics and compensates reactive power.
