Compensation of Fast Changing Loads - Application Example Wind Turbines

By P Goldstrass et al

A change in technology is taking place in power factor correction. Fast changing loads demand new, dynamic solutions that offer additional technical advantages and economic benefits. In this paper basic advice for the composition of a dynamic power factor correction (PFC) system is given. As example the setup and performance of a dynamic PFC system for wind turbines, named DynaWind 6000, is presented, that excellently meets the typical requirements to PFC installations in this application.
