Compensation systems

What is compensation? So the power factor COSϕ is corrected. Thus, the reactive power, which causes unnecessary loading of energy transmission lines and networks and increases the losses, is kept as minimum as possible. If reactive power compensation is not performed, losses occur in the network. Transmission lines and cables draw more current, so large voltage drops occur. The occurrence of voltage drops on the lines reduces the energy transport capacity.

As a result, we use a better quality, cheaper and more efficient energy thanks to compensation. The power factor that needs to be made at the desired level to a reactive power relay, etc. Settings are entered. Reactive power relay constantly monitoring the system according to the status of the reactive power by activating the capacitor groups from the capacitor banks to perform the reactive power compensation process.
