HYBRID HARMONIC FILTRATION SYSTEM - COMBINATION OF PASSIVE AND ACTIVE HARMONIC FILTER
Our Hybrid technology comprises of modular Active Filter Modules used with Tuned or Detuned Filter Banks to offer better filtering efficiency in the network. The Hybrid System is used for Power Factor Correction and Harmonic Mitigation with a low running cost. The Hybrid System is controlled through common Touch Screen Display. The modular Active Filter units are IGBT fired with each module is having its own dedicated Controller. The Passive Filtration part is controlled and switched ‘ON’ through Thyristor Switching Modules. The complete combination of Active and Passive offers a very reliable combination for very effective filtration and power factor control with low losses. Hybrid Power conditioning system is a combination of Dynamic ACTIVECOMP Thyristor based Power Factor Correction System and IGBT fired Active Harmonic Filtration System offers the most viable and economical solution for both Power Factor Compensation and Harmonic Mitigation. The designs offered by us are installed for compensation and Harmonic compliance of the main transformer or at major load feeders. Though there are standard ratings but any design can be offered as per customer load characteristics and level of harmonic distortion.

ACTIVECOMP Thyristor Switching Modules
The ACTIVECOMP Thyristor Modules is characterized by a high switching speed that ensures the switching on and off of the capacitors in real-time. Thyristor switching modules comprised of solid-state switching elements, which provide reliable, high speed and transient free operation. Thyristor Switching Module have a very high peak inverse voltage (PIV) of 2200V AC; this makes them exceptionally resistant to network Transients. These modules have inbuilt high-speed fans for better cooling with high-temperature protection. With the selection of highly-rated devices and thermal design, the performance of switching modules is way ahead of Switches available in the market.
Harmonic Block Reactors:
Harmonic Filter Reactors are made out of high-quality material and very stringent quality control. It has been designed with properties like the low-temperature rise and lower flux density so that it can operate in worst conditions of ambient and harmonic overloads (withstand very high THD-I and V values). All the reactors are designed with single layer strip winding with proper air channels for the low-temperature rise.
Capacitor Banks:
Super Heavy Cylindrical type Duca Power series Capacitor Banks from M/s Ducati energia s.p.a, Italy are installed as standard in all Activecomp Systems. Capacitors are rated voltage of 525V or 690V as per network voltage or application.
Active Harmonic Filter
Modular IGBT based Active Harmonic Filter Units with embedded cooling fans in multiple of different modules will be used in a separate non-compartmentalized compartment in Hybrid System with proper ventilation to reach the target rating of total Active Harmonic Filtration. Temperature sensors shall be provided to monitor the AHF module’s internal temperature, and cooling fans’ rotating speed shall be adjusted according to the detected internal temperature. Modular AHF Unit / Units shall have the basic function of harmonic current elimination to reduce THD-I and load imbalance correction. The AHF system shall be modular as described above with each AHF module shall be an independent harmonic filtering system, and it should normally work even when other modules or display & control panel get failure.
