What Will Happen Tomorrow in the Field of Low-Voltage Reactive Power Compensation?

As the key to improving power factor, reducing reactive power loss, improving energy efficiency and ensuring grid stability, low-voltage reactive power compensation has achieved unprecedented breakthroughs in recent years driven by global energy transformation and intelligence. Now, please follow the developmental vision of Geyue Electric's Chief Electrical Engineer to learn about the global industry trends in the field of low-voltage reactive power compensation:

Intelligence and Digitalization

Against the background of the increasing maturity of IoT technology, highly intelligent reactive power compensation paths will become common, where reactive power compensation devices integrate sensors and communication modules to monitor grid data in real time and analyze and optimize compensation strategies in the cloud. Today and tomorrow, when human society fully enjoys digital life, the application of Digital Twins technology will establish a virtual model to simulate grid operation by collecting, transmitting, processing and analyzing data, making it easier for power engineering projects to make compensation plans in advance, realize the "Prediction---Compensation" closed loop, and help reduce on-site commissioning costs.

Grid Connection of New Energy Sources

Since human society realized the vital importance of sustainable energy development, integrating renewable energy into the power grid has been a hotly discussed and seriously studied topic in the power industry. Due to the volatility of energy sources, renewable energy such as photovoltaics, wind power, and hydropower has intermittent characteristics that are difficult to change. In order to combat the grid fluctuations caused by intermittent loads of renewable energy, reactive power compensation equipment urgently needs to accelerate to achieve a rapid response speed of microseconds. In distributed energy scenarios, Static Var Generators (SVGs) and hybrid compensation solutions will become the future mainstream of community microgrids.

Application of High-Efficiency Power Electronic Devices

Do you know wide bandgap semiconductors? The larger bandgap width and higher breakdown electric field strength enable wide bandgap devices to withstand higher peak voltages, greatly increasing the output power of the system. High thermal conductivity and high chemical stability enable wide bandgap devices to work normally in harsh environments, improving the stability and reliability of the system. Under the premise that wide bandgap semiconductor SiC devices are becoming more and more popular in Static Var Generators (SVGs), the loss will be reduced by more than 30% and the life of the device will be extended by more than 50%.

With the increasingly stringent international standards, the EU ERP directive and China GB/T 15576-2020 and other standards have successively put forward higher requirements for the efficiency and harmonic suppression of low-voltage reactive power compensation devices. International carbon neutrality development-related organizations have also earnestly urged countries to implement subsidy policies and vigorously promote the replacement of old mechanical capacitors with self-healing metallized film power capacitors or intelligent power capacitors. As a low-voltage reactive power compensation expert who dares to be the first and innovates tirelessly, Geyue Electric has actively responded to the call of international new standards and International carbon neutrality development for many years, firmly absorbed the most cutting-edge technology and talents in the industry, and is committed to providing the most advanced, efficient and sustainable reactive power compensation equipment and reactive power compensation solutions to global electricity users.
