What is meant by Reactor in power system and what are the
uses?

Answer Posted / विशाल खरवा

Reactor is a very high inductive coil which has approx zero power losses and high reactance. Which generally used with EHV transmission lines.
Application–
1. Reactor is used to minimise the faulty current of transmission line.

2. Reactor is used to compensate the ferranti effect and capacitive effects.

3. Reactors used for connecting two lines. I.e. as a tie line connector.

4. Reactor opposes the change of faulty and dangerous current.👍👍

We are preparing another project which involves Waste heat recovery from a 1 MW GE Engine. The Engine in particular gives out flue gas at 487Deg C with a flow rate of 5650 kg/hour and this can be cooled to 180 Deg C. This gives a thermal output of ~ 594 KW that is available for input to VAM via heat exchanger / boiler. Additionally 581 KW will be available from engine jacket water (temperature profile 80/ 80 Deg C and a flow rate of 50m3/hr) Our estimation is that 300 TR of cooling is possible with a suitable VAM machine(s). Please advise what is the most suitable arrangement with maximum TR and min Capital expenditure. plz reply me as early as possible
