Using CPC-Based Minimizing Balancing Compensation to Reduce the Budeanu Reactive Currents Described in Extended Budeanu Theory

This article presents principles for matching reactance parameters for minimizing balancing compensation, whose mathematical origins come from the Currents’ Physical Components (CPC) theory developed by Czarnecki. The construction of minimizing balancing compensators was considered by applying it to the concept of the extended Budeanu theory. It focuses on the possibility of compensating the Budeanu reactive current, Budeanu complemented reactive current, and both currents at the same time. In addition, the compensator also has the potential to balance the load, that is, to reduce the unbalanced current. In order to precisely illustrate the difference in the effectiveness of compensation and balancing the load, each approach to minimizing balancing compensation has its equivalent in the case of ideal compensation. The analysis of the results achieved is a comparison of the three-phase RMS values of the respective components and the current of the load at the primary load and using three approaches, with each approach divided into ideal compensation and minimizing balancing compensation. For all approaches, calculations and simulations were carried out, in which the numerical values and generated waveforms of each quantity were compiled and analyzed. The Matlab/Simulink R2023a application environment was used as computational and simulation software.
