What is Reactive power compensation? Describe function and Advantages of Reactive power compensation module.

Reactive power (VAR) compensation is defined as the management of reactive power to improve the performance of ac systems.

There are two aspects:-

a) Load Compensation

The main objectives are to :-
i) increase the power factor of the system
ii) to balance the real power drawn from the system
iii) compensate voltage regulation
iv) to eliminate current harmonics.

b) Voltage Support –

The main purpose is to decrease the voltage fluctuation at a given terminal of transmission line. Therefore the VAR compensation improves the stability of ac system by increasing the maximum active power that can be transmitted.

Advantages :

Reactance ratio precise matching
Pattern frameless design of the reactance

Function:

Harmonic elimination reactive power compensation module SLG is a filtering loop which combines from the filtering reactance and a certain capacitive low voltage capacitor in a proper ratio to accomplish the reactive power compensation and harmonic filtering purpose.
