  • Reactive power compensator having a booster transformer
    Patent number: 8907637
    Abstract: A reactive power compensator. The reactive power compensator includes a power transformer having an AC bus side and a compensator bus side, wherein the power transformer is connectable to an AC grid at the AC bus side. The reactive power compensator further includes a thyristor-switched capacitor and a thyristor-controlled reactor connected to the compensator bus side. The reactive power compensator includes a booster transformer connected in series with the power transformer and to the compensator bus side. The invention also relates to computer programs and computer program products.
