Parallel operation modes
Description
Negative reactance principle
The actual phase angle setting results in a
regulating error. When the line drop compen-
sation is used, the setting should be changed
when the number of transformers in parallel
operation is changed.
+ The step voltages and short circuit impe-
dances of the transformers do not need to
be identical.
+ No communication or wiring between regu-
lators is needed, meaning that the principle
can be applied even when the parallel trans-
formers are located at different substations.
+ Supports an unlimited number of trans-
formers in parallel
Minimizing circulating current
- Requires extra configuration efforts since
this principle utilizes a horizontal communi-
cation between the regulators (the inputs
TRx_I
connected from parallel transformer
controller's outputs
TR0_I
.
+ The step voltages and short circuit impe-
dances of the transformers do not need to
be identical.
+ The phase angle of the load current may
vary without any impact on the regulation
accuracy.
+ Automatic adjustment for the number of
transformers (for an accurate calculation of
line drop compensation term)
