In a system stabilizing control system of controlling reactive power by a reactive power compensating device according to a voltage variation of an electric power system in which a capacitor is connected to a bus through a breaker, when the bus voltage drops, the capacitor is closed through the breaker to suppress a leading compensation reactive power amount caused by the reactive power compensating device, and when the bus voltage rises, the capacitor is disconnected through the breaker to suppress a lagging compensation reactive power amount caused by the reactive power compensating device.

System stabilization control system

In a conventional reactive-power compensator using a static reactive-power compensator (SVC), there are many cases in which the SVC is operating in a state in which it generates an amount of reactive power equivalent to a large part of its capacity. When an unforeseen large voltage fluctuation occurs in this state, the SVC can not sufficiently generate the amount of reactive power required to mitigate the voltage fluctuation. In some cases, such a voltage fluctuation can not be brought under control. To address this situation, a reactive-power compensator utilizes a reactive-power control apparatus that includes a comparison voltage generator for generating, for a control target voltage and to mitigate voltage fluctuation, a comparison voltage restricted within predetermined limits and obeying a predetermined time-lag characteristic. A differential voltage generator generates a differential voltage that is the difference between the comparison voltage and the control target voltage. A reactive-power control device controls, in response to the differential voltage, control-target reactive power generated by an SVC, at a time-related characteristic faster than the time-lag characteristic for the comparison voltage.
