Patent ID: 8648576

Claim:
A reactive power compensator comprising: a first static var compensator that is connected to a first bus and generates reactive power according to voltage fluctuation in the first bus; a first reactive power controller that controls an output of the first static var compensator; a second static var compensator that is connected to a second bus connected to the first bus via a power transmission line and generates reactive power according to voltage fluctuation in the second bus; and a second reactive power controller that controls an output of the second static var compensator, wherein the first reactive power controller includes: a first fluctuation-component-voltage generating unit that outputs a difference between a bus voltage of the first bus and a predetermined reference voltage; and a first reactive-power control unit that calculates, based on a difference obtained by subtracting a product of an impedance value of first slope reactance for determining an output change of the first static var compensator with respect to a change in the bus voltage of the first bus and a current value flowing to the first static var compensator from the output of the first fluctuation-component-voltage generating unit, reactive power that the first reactive-power control unit causes the first static var compensator to output, and the second reactive power controller includes: a second fluctuation-component-voltage generating unit that generates a comparative voltage, which follows the bus voltage of the second bus with a predetermined time lag characteristic and is limited within a predetermined range, and outputs a difference between the comparative voltage and the bus voltage of the second bus; and a second reactive-power control unit that calculates, based on a difference obtained by subtracting a product of an impedance value of second slope reactance for determining an output change of the second static var compensator with respect to a change in the bus voltage of the second bus and a current value flowing to the second static var compensator from the output of the second fluctuation-component-voltage generating unit, reactive power that the second reactive-power control unit causes the second static var compensator to output, and wherein the impedance value of the first slope reactance is smaller than the impedance value of the second slope reactance.
