Hello guys,
I would like help answering some questions:
I know that, FP < OnSetting: CapControl records CLOSED for Capacitor, whereas FP> OFFSetting records OPENED for Capacitor. But what happens when the FP is between the two limiters? (Figure 1)
Currently my script is with O'Netting = .88 and OFFsetting = .89, the charge flow stops at 2 hours and hangs at this time. (Figure 2). Why is this happening? What should I change? *PF is inductive (P> 0 and Q> 0).
The capacitor apparently starts connected to the network (CLOSED), is this correct? Even with CapControl enabled.
I finally had some time to play with your model, the issue is that you are using a capbank too big. The capcontrol has a directive to avoid the system to go from leading to lagging. The solution can be:
To use a smaller cap.
To add multiple steps to the cap, that way if you want to keep using the same capacitor size you can, and the cap activation will happen proportianally to the needs of the system considering the targets set (maybe 15 using your current cap, see the capacitor's NumSteps property).
Best regards
Davis
