Reactive Power Compensation Case of Automobile Factory

Basic information of users
An automobile manufacturing company produces safety car accessories. The company has 4 excellent production lines. The production lines use intermediate frequency heating and DC variable frequency drive motors, with 2000KVA2 (series application). The power supply system diagram is as follows:

Actual operating data
The 2000KVA transformer equipped with an intermediate frequency furnace and inverter has a maximum power of 1500KVA, the actual power factor is PF=0.82, the working current is 2250A, the harmonics are mainly 5th and 7th, and the total current distortion rate is 23.6%.

Power System Situation Analysis
The main load of intermediate frequency induction furnace, intermediate frequency induction furnace and inverter rectifier power supply is the 6th pulse rectifier. The rectifier equipment produces a lot of pulse current when converting AC current into AC voltage. The harmonic current introduced into the power grid can cause pulse Current operating voltage, resulting in fluctuations in operating voltage and current, endangering the quality and operational safety of switching power supplies, increasing line loss and operating voltage deviation, and negatively affecting the power grid and the electrical equipment of the power plant itself.
The program controller computer interface (PLC) is sensitive to the harmonic distortion of the working voltage of the switching power supply. It is generally stipulated that the total pulse current working voltage frame loss (THD) is less than 5%, and the individual pulse current working voltage If the frame rate is too high, the operation error of the control system may lead to the interruption of production or operation, resulting in a large production liability accident.
Therefore, the low-voltage reactive power compensation of the filter with the function of pulse current filter should be used to compensate the reactive load and improve the power factor.

Filter reactive power compensation treatment plan
Governance goals
The design of filter compensation equipment meets the requirements of harmonic suppression and reactive power suppression management.
Under the 0.4KV system operating mode, after the filter compensation equipment is put into operation, the pulse current is suppressed, and the monthly average power factor is around 0.92.
High-order harmonic resonance, resonance overvoltage, and overcurrent caused by connecting to the filter compensation branch circuit will not occur.

Design ideas
According to the specific situation of the company, the company designed a set of detailed reactive power compensation plans for the intermediate frequency induction furnace and the inverter power supply. Considering the load power factor and the pulse current filter, a A set of filter low-voltage reactive power compensation, filter the pulse current, compensate the reactive load, and improve the power factor.
In the whole process of the intermediate frequency induction furnace and the converter, the overall components generate 6K pulse currents, which are converted according to the current flow of the Fourier series, and the characteristic pulse currents are generated at 5250Hz and 7350Hz. Therefore, when designing filter reactive power compensation, the soft starter and 350Hz frequency design scheme ensure that the filter compensation power supply circuit is reasonable and the filter pulse current output power compensation is improved to improve the power factor so that the system software pulse current is in line with GB/T3 unanimous.

design assignment
Each set of 2000KVA transformer corresponds to the intermediate frequency furnace and the comprehensive power factor of the inverter is compensated from 0.8 to above 0.95, the 5th harmonic is reduced from 420A to 86A, and the 7th harmonic is reduced from 230A to 46A. The filter compensation device needs to be installed with a capacity of 1060KVar. Divided into 6 groups of capacity for automatic switching, corresponding to the intermediate frequency furnace, inverter rectifier power supply filter compensation, divided into 5 times, 7 times and fine compensation filter compensation road automatic switching, to meet the intermediate frequency furnace, inverter filter and reactive power Compensation design requirements.
This design fully ensures that the harmonic control complies with the national standard GB/T 14549-93, and adjusts the power factor of the intermediate frequency furnace and frequency converter above 0.95. As shown in the figure below: Effect analysis after installation of filter compensation
In June 2010, the intermediate frequency furnace and frequency converter filter reactive power compensation device was installed and put into operation. The device automatically tracks the load changes of the intermediate frequency furnace and frequency converter, and actually eliminates high-order harmonics to compensate reactive power and improve power factor. details as following:
