Types of filters

Filter An equipment generally constituted of reactors, capacitors and resistors if required, tuned to present a known impedance over a given frequency range. [IEC 61642 ] Tuned filters A filter with a tuning frequency, which differs by no more than 10 % from the frequency which is to be filtered. [ IEC 61642 ] Detuned filters A filter with a tuning frequency more than 10% below the lowest harmonic frequency with considerable current/voltage amplitude. [ IEC 61642 ] Damped filter A filter with low, predominantly resistive, impedance over a wide band of frequencies. [ IEC 61642 ]

Static compensation / Where to compensate?

Highest point in the system is given by the bottleneck Compensation location is many time a compromise Close to the load gives best result in terms of load reduction Close to the load implies more sensitive to load changes that might increase the need for a more expensive solutions Close to the load might imply several compensations on same bus which might be tricky if filters are used and also more switchgear equipment

Power Quality

Control of generation demand

Minimum generated power is given by system calculations Present and target power factor together with active power The banks can be tailor made Capacitance is given by generation demand and tuning Maximum bank size is controlled by allowed voltage rise at connection voltage raise at connection dU=dQ/Ssc

Distortion demands might require more reactive power generation than power factor demand

Considerations for filter capacitor bank design
