DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a converter technology and can be used for work in the distribution networks of industrial enterprises for power factor correction of loads.

Known reactive power control method thyristor reactive power compensator (TKRM) [1] is to organize the pulse width modulation voltage to crush the charge-storage capacitor discharge process.

Known TKRM comprising a three-phase bridge thyristors with cut-off diodes and switching capacitors and feedback diodes, a storage capacitor interconnected by busses DC voltage from the phase terminals bridges are connected via switching reactors [1] Thus, due to the pulse width modulation voltage and increase frequency switching valves thyristor bridge is crushed process, the storage capacitor charge-discharge.

However, the known method and device allow to obtain an acceptable value nonsinusoidality ns coefficient K only in a narrow range of reactive power control. By increasing the range of the current control curve is sharply non-sinusoidal character and nonsinusoidality ratio is at best 30-40%

The closest to the technical nature of the invention is a method of controlling the reactive power [2] based on the change in the storage capacitor charge voltage by changing the charging current pulse width by changing the time of the switching thyristor in the controller DC (RPN), which is incorporated between the storage capacitor and the output phase rectifier.

The closest to the claimed device the technical essence is a source of reactive power (IRM) [2] containing controlled voltage converter with input reactors and the storage capacitor in the DC link current of the inverter.

The disadvantage of the known method and device is provided that are operative in the charge storage capacitor, a reactive power control over a wide range and must also ensure its operational discharge. One recharging the storage capacitor does not provide high-speed regulation of reactive power IWW, determining its narrow range. This continuous change of the reactive power can be achieved only outstripping nature.

The object of the invention is to improve the performance and expand the reactive power control range.

This object is achieved by the fact that the reactive power control method, by changing the voltage value on the storage capacitor connected to the output of the controllable voltage converter, calculate the voltage value on it, providing the required amount of reactive power, and stabilize its voltage at a calculated level, performing recharging and discharging the storage capacitor on the independent circuits.

The task is achieved by the fact that the source of reactive power, comprising a controllable voltage converter with input reactors and the storage capacitor of the DC converter according to the invention is equipped with a sensor of reactive power and voltage, a computing device for determining the voltage on the basis of providing the necessary quantities of reactive power, Compare node, two power transformers controlled rectifier and the slave inverter with a system of pulse-phase control corresponding conclusions DC rectifier and inverter voltage are connected in parallel storage capacitor and the voltage sensor, the reactive power output of the sensor forms an input of a computing device, which output is connected to a respective node input by comparison, the other input connected to the output voltage of the sensor, and the output to the input pulse-phase control system, two control outputs which are connected to a controllable rectifier and inverter driven network connected to the network through the power transformers.

It is the use of a controlled rectifier and inverter driven network, carrying out operational respectively charge and discharge the storage capacitor with the calculation of the voltage value it provides in accordance with a method of stabilizing the voltage at a calculated level corresponding to the required value of the reactive power, and thus the goal of the inventions. This leads to the conclusion that the claimed invention interconnected single inventive concept.

The figure shows a functional diagram of the IWW, which implements the method of regulation of reactive power and device for its implementation.
