  • Flexible transformer system
    Patent number: 11538614
    Abstract: A system includes conductive windings extending around a magnetic core and impedance-varying windings extending around the magnetic core. The impedance-varying windings include positive windings and negative windings. The conductive windings and the impedance-varying windings conduct electric current around the magnetic core. The system includes a first impedance tap changer that is electrically coupled with the positive windings of the impedance-varying windings and a second impedance tap changer electrically coupled with the negative windings of the impedance-varying windings. A controller controls the first impedance tap changer and the second impedance tap changer to change an impedance of the system by changing which portion of the positive windings and which portion of the negative windings are conductively coupled with the conductive windings, and which portion of the positive windings and which portion of the negative windings are disconnected from the conductive windings.

  • Electric reactor of controlled reactive power and method to adjust the reactive power
    Patent number: 7642888
    Abstract: An electric reactor of controlled reactive power is formed by a magnetic core, and at least one primary winding to which a main current is supplied to generate a main magnetic flow on the magnetic core. The reactor also includes at least a generator of the magnetic distortion field to which a control current is supplied to generate a field of magnetic distortion on the magnetic core. The magnetic distortion field is opposed to the main magnetic flow generating a distortion of the latter, achieving a change in the magnetic core reluctance and in this way a change in the reactive power of consumption of the reactor. In addition, a method is described to adjust the reactive power in an electric reactor.
