Independent reactive power control
In addition, the PCS 6000 static frequency converter can also be used as an independent reactive power control device in the two connected networks. The PCS 6000 can fulfill the reactive power requirements of both networks. The selection of the installation location is made much easier due to the high level of reactive power controllability. Furthermore, networks with a high harmonic content or asymmetrical loading can be coupled to the national grid. In such cases additional investment and space for filter and compensation components can be avoided by applying the PCS 6000.
