With the increasing proportion of renewable energy usage, the randomness and volatility of renewable energy have led to a corresponding increase in the demand for reactive power regulation in the power system. Magnetic controlled reactor (MCR) is one of the technical and economic means used to solve problems such as reactive power compensation and voltage regulation in the power system. However, the transient time of traditional MCR is relatively long compared to other reactive power compensation devices, which limits the further application of MCR. At present, most methods for optimizing the dynamic response time of MCR are to add additional circuits or change control strategies, which will increase the difficulty of MCR control and reduce stability. Therefore, without adding additional circuit structure and control difficulty, this paper proposes a three-phase MCR fast excitation structure that changes the winding connection method, which can improve the DC voltage in the control circuit and reduce the transient time of the MCR. A magnetic circuit model in the MCR core under the fast excitation structure is built and analyzed, based on which, the transient time of the MCR is mathematically calculated. A fast excitation MCR simulation model was constructed based on MATLAB/Simulink platform for dynamic response test simulation. Compared with typical MCR simulation results, the transient time was reduced from 400 ms to 37.1 ms. Dynamic response tests were conducted on a three-phase MCR prototype of 35 kV/18 Mvar, and drop test indicates that the fast excitation structure could reduce the transient time of the three-phase MCR prototype to 36.6 ms, which substantiate the precision of mathematical and simulation results and the efficacy of the fast excitation structure.
