  • Arrangement for reactive power compensation
    Patent number: 10742034
    Abstract: In the presented solution reactive power is compensated for in connection with a power transmission line with an arrangement which comprises at least one transformer and at least one reactive power compensator. The at least one reactive power compensator comprises a voltage source converter and switched elements. The switched elements may be thyristor switched capacitors and/or thyristor switch reactors, for example. The voltage source converter may provide reactive power in a linear or step less manner. The transformer is a three winding transformer having a high voltage side connectable to the power transmission line, a first low voltage side connected to the voltage source converter and a second low voltage side connected to the switched elements.
