Power Quality National Project AGF
Project Summary
Power Quality National Project - MV Active Power Filter Sub Project
Project Summary
Active power filter systems consist of power-switched semiconductor elements in the field of power electronics in coordination with energy-storing passive circuit components such as reactors and capacitors. The resonance risk of passive filters and advances in semiconductor technology have significantly increased the use of active power filters in harmonic filtering applications.
Depending on their topology, active power filters are effectively used in solving many power quality problems such as filtering current and voltage harmonics, reactive power compensation, neutral current elimination, terminal voltage regulation, suppression of voltage flicker and elimination of current-voltage imbalances.
Within the scope of this project, a current source converter (CSC) based mobile active power filter (APF) system with a voltage level of 1.1 kV and a power of 5 MVA was developed with domestic and national facilities and installed in Denizli-2 Substation.
Technical Details
This mobile Medium Voltage (MV) Active Power Filter system operates at 1.1 kV input voltage and has a power level of 5 MVA with current source inverter topology.
Project Output
Power Quality National Technology
Within the scope of the project, this 5 MVA capacity current source active power filter, which was designed with domestic engineering for the first time in our country, was successfully commissioned by connecting to Denizli-2 Substation via 34.5/1.1 kV coupling transformer to filter the 5th current harmonic component.
