Reactive Power Compensation Service

The term Reactive power compensation services and Study is described as the regulation and control of the reactive power to improve the performance of alternating current or AC. The problem of reactive power compensation is generally related to load and voltage support. The goals of load support are to increase the value of the system power factor, balance the real power drawn from the alternating current supply, improve voltage regulation, and eliminate current harmonic components produced by large and fluctuating nonlinear industrial loads. Voltage support is typically required to reduce voltage fluctuation at a transmission line terminal. By increasing the maximum active power that can be transmitted, reactive power compensation in transmission systems improves the stability of the ac system.

Because reactive power has a higher capacity than is actually required, it is best to generate reactive power only when it is needed. If the reactive power is generated by a power plant, all of the equipment associated with the distribution system must be aligned with it.

Reactive power is a necessary component of electric power systems. Without reactive power, rotation can’t be initiated in rotating machines and active power cannot be transmitted through transmission lines. There are numerous advantages to being able to control or compensate for reactive power. Positive and/or negative VArs are added or injected into the power system during the reactive power compensation process to achieve voltage control.

Harmonic distortions in the power system were briefly discussed, as were the problems caused by non-linear loads. Power compensation study also addresses the issues with harmonic analysis of the system.
