  • Method for mounting high voltage capacitor banks
    Patent number: 11776757
    Abstract: A capacitor bank assembly has a conductive mount tray and capacitors. The capacitors are vertically mounted and held by the conductive mount tray. All positive terminals of the capacitors are connected to a first conductive plate. All negative terminals of the capacitors are connected to a second conductive plate. An insulating material separates the first conductive plate and the second conductive plate.

  • Integration of a power flow control unit
    Patent number: 11342749
    Abstract: A power flow control unit has one or more impedance injection units. The impedance injection unit has high current drivers and capacitors forming a capacitor bank, and a cooling plate. The cooling plate is thermally coupled to the high current drivers and thermally decoupled from the capacitor bank. Bus bars connect the impedance injection units in series with a power transmission line. The power flow control unit is configurable to inject into the power transmission line a reactive power of at least one MVAr (mega volt-ampere reactive).
