Relationship between reactive power compensation and current
Thread Content
Question: 1. Is the function of reactive power compensation to reduce the reactive power consumption in the power grid? 2. Reactive power compensation is applied to the low-voltage bus; if the load remains unchanged, will the system current change before and after compensation?
By delivering the same real power, the reactive current can be reduced, thereby minimizing the power loss caused by this reactive current in the line resistance.
After reactive power compensation, the active load of a transformer increases, right?
With the capacity remaining unchanged, reactive power decreases after compensation, allowing active power to increase to a certain extent, thereby improving the power factor
