This work focuses on the concept of operation and possibility of using a tuned inductor in electrical power systems with adaptive features. The idea presented here for the operation of the inductor is a new approach to the design of such devices. An example of a power adaptive system is a device for improving the quality of electricity. The negative impact of nonlinear loads on the operation of a power grid is a well-documented phenomenon. Hence, various types of “compensators” for reactive power, or for both reactive and distortion power, are used in electrical systems as a preventive measure. The concept of an inductor presented here offers wider possibilities for power compensation in power supply systems, compared to traditional solutions involving compensators based on fixed inductors. The use of the proposed solution in an adaptive compensator is only one example of its possible implementation in the area of power devices. In this work, we discuss the structure of the compensator, the basic aspects of the operation of the inductor, the results of simulation studies and the results of measurements obtained from a prototype.References
