Advantages of using ESCOVAR Panels
Reactive Power requirement as supplied by the panel will release substantial KVA capacity from the transformer.
Loading on Transformers is reduced, which in turn reduces the thermal stress, enhancing in the working life of transformers.
Separate VAR compensation eliminates the magnetizing current passing through the transformer to the loads, thus reducing the losses in the transformer (kwh) for savings.
Automatic compensation helps in maintaining near unity Power Factor at the Secondary side of the transformer thereby facilitating full utilization of Active Power Flow (KW) and at the same time without over compensating the system.
 Electricity Utility Networks
The total electricity being distributed by Utilities in India is around 1,20,000 MW. So far most utilities depend on their own VAR compensation systems at the substation points to reduce their T & D losses. Now, given the impending power famine, it is increasingly important to reduce the transformer losses and improve the system voltage by suitable compensations throughout the electrical system.
A transformer is one of the most essential equipment for transmission and distribution of electricity. According to estimates, every megawatt of power capacity needs around 6MVA of power transformer. Distribution losses in India account for almost 18-20% of the total transmission and distribution (T&D) losses of around 26%. The no-load losses of a typical 100KVA distribution transformer is around 460 watts, and this can reduced by 75% by providing suitable VAR compensation using Automatically Switched Shunt Capacitor Banks at the secondary side.
Circuit compensation is useful in augmenting the reactive power requirement of the distribution system. Here, load centre compensation (at the 440volts/415 volts secondary) can be to the extent of 50% of the reactive power requirement. This ensures that during peak load times, the reactive power to the load is fully met and the voltage support required to prevent an undervoltage condition can be built up.
In the next stage, 30% of the reactive power can be provided at the Medium voltage level, again for voltage support and reactive power graded support.
Electricity boards and companies can substantially reduce loss due to undervoltage and earn revenue by employing a KVARH supply through ESCOVAR at the Transformer secondary, and can ask for Independent Reactive power suppliers. |
