Abstract
| The power quality covers the means to conserve energy resources, such means consist in improving the power factor and judiciously managing the reactive energy in the power system. Electric grids do not have an unlimited energy transmission capacity, therefore any load on the grid with reactive energy is measured by the energy distributor/supplier and billed to the consumer. On the premise that for industrial consumers, the main consumers of reactive energy are the low-load induction motors and transformers, this paper presents a synchronization equipment for a wound-rotor induction motor with a power of 2000 kW, nominal voltage 6kV, nominal current 210A, which allows the increase of the power factor, significantly reducing the reactive energy consumption. The equipment presented was designed, built, tested and validated by tests carried out in the high-power laboratory. |
