Abstract
The primary goal of the project is to develop a passive compensator of reactive power which will prevent resonance conditions. In the second phase a prototype of an active compensator for eliminating voltage distortions in the low-voltage network will be developed. This prototype will represent the basis for further development of an electronic interface connecting renewable energy sources to the network; the concept of an active distribution network will be introduced. Advanced methods of processing input quantities and a simultaneous adaptation of the compensator to the network conditions represent an original contribution to the development of new compensators for active networks. This is especially important for passive compensators that are less expensive, thus providing the industrial partner with a better possibility of developing the final product.
