Static VAR Compensator Model (Thyristor-Controlled Reactor)

Power Systems / Power ElectronicsHard

Approx. component budget: Rs. 6,000 - 10,000

Objective

Show how reactive power can be controlled smoothly and measure the improvement in voltage and power factor.

A thyristor-controlled reactor with phase-angle control and a capacitor, regulating reactive power and the voltage at a small inductive load.

Reactive power control, phase control, harmonics and FACTS devices.

Triac or thyristor modules, zero-cross detector, Arduino/STM32, power analyser. Low-voltage isolated supply and proper enclosure are mandatory.

Built and tested Static VAR Compensator Model (Thyristor-Controlled Reactor); objective: show how reactive power can be controlled smoothly and measure the improvement in voltage and power factor.
Measured and analysed power factor and voltage before and after compensation and firing angle vs reactive power curve; wrote the report and presented the results in a viva. Add your own numbers: [x].

Replace [x] with your own measured results. Write only what you really did.
