Shunt reactor modeling with non-linear inductance

Submitted by Andrew.Robertson on Mon, 11/19/2012 - 19:04

I am wanting to model a 50 MVAr 132 kV shunt reactor (1.11 H), which is being supplied as part of a 132 kV cable project.

As I am looking at ferroresonance issues, I'd like to model the reactor as a non-linear reactor.

How do I translate the reactor design parameters to a current versus flux relationship ?

The reactor must be linear to 130% pu of rated voltage (= 171.6 kV ph-ph). Maximum flux density in iron at power frequency, principal tapping and 130% rated voltage is 2.1 T. This is the only information available as it is still under construction.
