Thyristor switched power factor (PF) improvement systems are used in solar Power Plants.
By providing consistent reactive power compensation, these systems help stabilize the electrical grid. Ensuring that the solar power plant operates at optimal efficiency by reducing losses associated with poor power factor.
Solar power generating plants export the power in the grid in day time and import in the night. This situation changes to some extend especially in rainy season when the sky is cloudy.
When the solar Power Plants is in import mode the PF is normally leading. This adds to kVAh consumption. It is little tricky to deal with this condition. However, we have installed PF correction systems at such places & have solved the problems successfully.
