Adaptive Damping – An Improved Resonance Mitigation Scheme for Shunt Capacitors

Adding a damping unit to a shunt capacitor is an effective way to mitigate capacitor-caused resonance. However, damping units suffer from power loss issues. This shortcoming is amplified further in cases where resonance has a low possibility of occurring. In view of this, an adaptive damping method is proposed to improve the existing scheme. The damping unit is capable of mitigating resonance and ...
