Reactive Power Compensation/Evidence
Method evidence record

Reactive Power Compensation

Reactive power compensation adjusts the flow of reactive power (VARs) in electrical networks to support voltage profiles, reduce losses, and improve power factor. Methods include fixed capacitor banks, switched capacitors, synchronous condensers, and FACTS devices. Proper compensation is essential for maintaining voltage stability and minimizing energy losses in modern power systems.
