Reactive power transformation using а passive electronic transducer

Abstract

Transformation of reactive power into active power, which can be used to perform work for various purposes, is of practical use. Goal. The aim of the work is analysis of the processes of resonant conversion of reactive power into active power in the proposed converter circuit. Methodology. A practical solution to this problem can be real-ized using a converter circuit consisting of two in-ductively coupled parallel and series resonant circuits. The use of a parallel circuit with resonance currents minimizes the impact on the processes in the reactive power source. The use of a series circuit with a voltage resonance allows maximizing the original active power in the converter load. Results. The simplest scheme of a passive electronic converter of reactive power into active power is proposed. The conditions are determined, whose fulfillment minimizes the influence of the proposed scheme on the processes in the reactive power source at the maxi-mum current in the converter load. Originality. Efficiency of the device under test means maximum cur-rent and power in the load with minimum impact on the inductance of the reactive power source. Practical value. The parameters of a real circuit have been calculated, which allows for practically lossless conversion of reactive power into active power with a minimum effect on the current in the source.
