POWER QUALITY IMPROVES
by PowerCOM Statcom Solution
PowerCOM improves quality in all types of electrical networks. These meet a variety of requirements,
such as optimising the mains voltage as well as compensating reactive power transfer, harmonics,
flicker, sag and swells.
Ensure Stable Grids
High energy quality, reduced energy costs and stabilisation of the grids are just some of the new requirements that electricity consumers
nowadays have.
Industrial applications require a stable grid for safe operation. In particular, consumers who do very precise work must be protected
against mains fluctuations or outages. On the other hand, they may not burden the grid themselves, e.g. due to reactive current outputs.
With the use of regulated PowerCOM statcom Solutions, the grid operator’s grid connection conditions can completely be fulfilled. At the
same time, the efficient, reliable operation of machinery and equipment is assured.

During mechanic contactor switched on/off it has mechanical
noise. Time to time it can be appeared noise because of arcs
and over current.
Capacitor Banks with Thyristor
It has 20-40 ms delay in working without waiting discharge
time. They works suitable for needed power in real time
compensation.
During capacitor steps switched on/off, system works soft and
without any impulse. So there won’t be any inrush current and
transient voltage distortion.
This system work without mechanical switching. As a result
system works in a silent. Capacitor steps are operated
continuously and unlimited.

energy and extreme compensation even though they install any compensation
systems and/or capacitors except for operations and facilities where reactive
energy compensation systems are installed with traditional methods using capacitors. Railway applications that comprising kilometers of underground cabling
(particularly light rail, tram and electrical bus-trambus systems) are the most
important ones.
• M
SC Series Low Voltage Power Capacitors consist of metalized
polypropylene film bobbins which are placed in metal casing with different
connection techniques such as series and parallel.
• Metalized polypropylene film is shortly named element. Elements are
totally dry units with no impregnation or insulation liquid.
• MCS capacitors has high mechanical and electrical resistance thanks
to metalized polypropylene film and production technique of element.
Elements receive a treatment in vacuumed and dry environment. In
addition thermosetting resin is used in element prodcution. Bobbins are
coated with resin in a vacuumed and dry environment. So in resin it doesn’t
get any air and humidity because of expansion and sweating.
• Elements can be consisted as series and parallel groups in casing. MSC
Series Power Capacitors are manufactured according to thermic calculation
beside of electrical and mechanical calculation. Also designs are realized
according to the thermal cooling because of the element and temperature
change in casing.
• The metal box for elements is filled with inorganic and fire proof granules.
•

•
These granules do not prevent thermal cooling. Also they extinguish flames
in case of a possible defect.
In production of MSC capacitors there are no harmful gas and materials. In
this regard, they provide all the international standards and requirements.
End of their life time, they are subject to recycling.
External discharge resistors are used as standard in MSC capacitors.
Discharge resistors provide voltage reduction between the capacitor
terminals when power failure occurs.
MSC capacitors have perfect current and voltage withstands, as a result
they have long life. They can be used in all kind of compensation and
filtering applications with high performance and safety. They show stability
of high capacity for many years with high quality metalized polypropylene
film and internal fuse. And these metalized polypropylene films have selfhealing ability.

MST Elektroteknik, as your professional solution partner with energy flow charr
analysis, harmonic analysis, short circuit analysis, secondary protection relay
selectivity analyses and product/system solutions aimed at all such systems in
railway operations projects in detail and applies the automatic inductive and
capacitive compensation systems in line with working conditions
requirements.
When the MV cables are energized, it is enough to create capacitive reactive
power. In railway operations, capacitive reactive impact will be permanent while
underground cables are energized.
However, loads including transformer, UPS and similar loads within the operation
also have reactive impacts when they work under low load. Particularly the
inductive reactive energy caused by energy inverters, potential capacitive reactive
energy caused by UPS’s working under low loads, and potential capacitive or
inductive reactive energy caused by ventilation and lighting systems are some
of the most important operational factors that affect total reactive energy and
its distribution within the operation.
The reactive energy flow of a railway operation may vary depending on the
capacitive reactive impact caused by underground cables and how much the
inductive or capacitive reactive energy of other stationary loads (transformer,
UPS etc.) throughout the operation compensate or increase one another. Therefore, the lowest inductive reactive energy compensation system that will be
generally applied and taken as the basis can be calculated based on the reactive
energy flow in the facility’s idle operation criteria. However, in an already-operating railway system application, reactive energy levels and flows can continually
vary during the day depending on the vehicle traffic.
So, it should be considered that the capacitive reactive of the lines can be automatically compensated at varying rates and levels depending on the loading
levels in the operation. As a result, the projected inductive and/or capacitive
compensation systems have to be designed so that they will automatically reply
the loading conditions varying throughout the operational period.
MST Elektroteknik, thanks to years of experience and expertise, runs the AC
main energy and harmonic flow simulations (as well as short circuit analyses
and relay selectivity) of railway operations by licensed developed softwares.
The below criterias are taken into consideration in computer simulations and
analyses carried out on the single line of the operation are considered first to
determine the directions and levels of energy flow.
• Different loading and working conditions of the operation,
• Feeding and billing of the facility from one or more points within different
scenarios,
• Periodically deactivating some of the energy sources,
• Emergency scenarios etc. provided by the operator
Dahili sigorta

Such transportation systems which establish energy transmission/connection
between the distribution/service substations with underground medium voltage
cables and where the lines are very long may exposed to highly extreme high
capacitive reactive impact.
By using computer simulations carried out by various scenarios and working
conditions, the system designs ensure inductive/capacitive compensation of
the system under all conditions and the total power, distribution, installation
criteria etc. of such systems in the operation are determined.
