1. Working principle


External CT detects the load current, DSP tracks instruction current and calculates the harmonic content through Intelligent Fast Fourier algorithm. Then DSP sends PWM signal to IGBT driving board which can control IGBT turning on and off to generate opposite phase of compensation harmonic current. At the same time CT detects the output current and compensation result is fed back to DSP, then the next round of logic control is carried out to realize stable power grid.

2. Advantage

Three level topology (less switching loss & higher switching frequency)


Compared to two-level topology, Sinexcel AHF adopts three-level topology which has twice the IGBT modules guarantees 35kHz switching frequency, and with two IGBT in each bridge arm to share the DC bus voltage instead of one, the switching losses is reduced. And three-level inverter uses multiple levels to synthesize stepped waves to approximate the sinusoidal output voltage. As there is one more output level than a two-level inverter, its output PWM wave is closer to the sinusoidal waveform with less ripple content which guarantees the output  compensation current without attenuation.

Intelligent Fast Fourier algorithm (avoid resonance and more accurate compensation)

Sinexcel AHF adopts Intelligent Fast Fourier algorithm instead of FFT-Fast Fourier Transform as unique intelligent FFT can automatically study system impedance, identify feature of individual harmonic order to regulate the distribution of compensation capacity, if program detects some harmonic order has resonance, it stops outputting at the order but continuous compensates the others, otherwise outputs all capacity that system needs within 5 mins. If resonance changes to the other harmonic order, the next round of self-learning is carried out to prevent system from resonance.

Module design (small size)


Sinexcel AHF is in an ultra-compact design which means it can be easy installed and replaced. Wall-mounted and rack-mounted design with compact footprint make it flexible to be integrated into the system, 5 pcs modules can be put into one single cabinet with maximum capacity 750A and plug-type module can be also a choice which saves a lot space and more convenient.

1. Working principle


External CT detects the load current, DSP tracks instruction current and calculates the reactive power change rate through the Instantaneous Reactive Power Algorithm. Then DSP sends PWM signal to IGBT driving board which can control IGBT on and off to generate inductive or capacitive compensation current. At the same time CT detects the output current and compensation result is fed back to DSP, then the next round of logic control is carried out to realize stable power grid.

2. Advantage

Superior performance (PFC 0.99&-1~1 Compensating)
Sinexcel SVG adopts inverter-based technology which is an active solution for power factor correction that it can realize step-less compensation without over-compensation and under- compensation. PFC process with both inductive reactive power and capacitive reactive power within 15ms and maintains PF 0.99at all timesirrespective of how much or how fast the system reactive power changes,instead of cap-banks can only compensate inductive reactive power.

High Reliability (long lifespan & operate normally in 15% THDV environment)
The MTBF (mean time between failures) of Sinexcel SVG is up to 100000 hours of operation, but for capbank whose available compensating capacity is directly determined by the capacity of every single capacitor whichwill decrease over time,it needs to be monitored and replaced at regular intervals.As cap bank is a passive solution, it works by changing the system impedance which can increase resonance risk. And capacitor impedance related to current frequency, harmonic currents cause an internal breakdown of the capacitors and may result in an explosion. Instead Sinexcel SVG is not influenced by harmonicand can operate normally in 15% THDV environment due to the inverter-based technology.

Moreover, Sinexcel SVG can compensate the leading and lagging power factor and has tolerance on the high THDI, THDU system.  

Module design (small size)


Sinexcel SVG is in an ultra-compact design which makes it can be easy installed and replaced. Wall-mounted and rack-mounted design with minimal footprint make it flexible to be integrated into the system, with its high density, 5 pcs 100kvar SVG can be put into one single cabinet, more than 70% space can be savedcompared with cap banks.

1. Working principle


Sinexcel Advanced Static Var Generator (ASVG) conducts real-time monitoring to load current through external Current Transformer (CT) and detects reactive components and harmonic from load current through the calculation of internal Digital Signal Processor (DSP) , then transmits PWM signal to internal Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT).

The VACON® NXP Grid Converter is an alternative source of marine power technology that plays a key role in reducing fuel intake and improving efficiency. It can be applied to power generation for ship engines and harbor power supplies to meet the demands of governments and port authorities.

When used with a shore-supply solution, VACON NXP Grid Converter allows electrical power to be sourced from the local grid via a set of cables, rather than the ship’s main engine or generators. This process, sometimes known as ‘cold ironing’, has a significantly positive impact on fuel economy. It causes reductions in CO2, NOx and SOx emissions, as well as noise and vibration levels.

VACON NXP Grid Converter can also be applied to shaft-generator solutions, ensuring that propulsion machinery is able to operate at various speeds. The shaft generator decouples shaft RPMs from the electricity (frequency) which allows better electrical quality and improved fuel economy. Additionally, power can either be taken from or entered into the propeller shaft. This is particularly useful for ships that often alternate their speeds as it creates fuel savings and minimizes exhaust emissions by up to 15%. It also creates an emergency mode meaning that the vessel can operate even if the main engine fails.
