mesh flow controller WA-MSR regulator
Research project FLOW-R: Development of the mesh flow regulator WA-MSR
FLOW-R the synonym for the mesh flow controller WA-MSR is a joint development of the TU-Kaiserslautern, Pfalzwerke, Pfalzwerke Netz, PPC and Walcher.
The mesh flow controller, FLOW-R, has the task of controlling the flow of current in meshed low-voltage networks or ring circuits in such a way that highly uneven current flows in parallel lines of the mesh are compensated.
As the basis of the controller, the two Kirchhoff laws are implemented by the controller FLOW-R.
For this purpose, the currents and phase voltages and phase angles at technically interesting measuring points are polled cyclically every 10 seconds within a mesh and evaluated in the WA-MSR.
If there is a need for action for the controller, it becomes active and sends a matching, dynamized equalizing current through the monitored mesh by switching on or off of adapted step transformers.
The WA-MSR also determines the current direction of the compensation current within the loop, so that the rated current can be influenced at all points of the loop.
The WA-MSR can also take over a voltage regulation within certain limits.
Optionally, the WA-MSR can be monitored from the control room using the IEC 60870-5-104 telecontrol protocol and parameterized as required.
