The electric power used to run an appliance is called demand power or apparent power expressed in Volt-Ampere (S). The apparent power is a combination of two powers, true power expressed in Watt (P) and reactive power expressed in VAR (Q). S2(KVA)=P2(KW)+Q2(KVAR)S2(KVA)=P2(KW)+Q2(KVAR) Power factor.

Abstract: This paper explores the method of reactive power compensation using shunt capacitors for two cases. The first case involves a load fairly close to the AC source. The shunt capacitors are injected into the circuit by a logic circuit which uses the reactive power absorbed by the load, which are inductive in nature, as its input.
Thus, the methods for reactive power compensation are nothing but the methods by which poor power factors can be improved. The methods are as follows: Let us now discuss each one separately. 1. Capacitor Banks: In this method, a bank of capacitors forms a connection across the load.
The circuit diagram of compensation capacitors and peripheral hardware in the implemented hybrid reactive power compensation system is also given in Fig. 7. As can be seen in this figure, there are six single-phase and two three-phase capacitors. Rated powers of each capacitor are also shown in the same figure.
In the first stage, reactive power compensation at each load in the systems is implemented for increasing the power factor into 0.9. In the second stage, metaheuristic methods are employed to determine the location and size of additional capacitors at nodes in distribution lines.
There is a novel method to actively compensate for the reactive current caused by the EMI capacitor. Moreover, the PFC current-loop reference is reshaped at the AC zero-crossing to accommodate for the fact that any reverse current will be blocked by the diode bridge. Both PF and THD are improved as a result. Figure 3.
In summary, we implement compensation of reactive power twice. In the first stage, we compensate reactive power at loads by using equation (20) to increase their power factor and then we calculated the total compensation power Qtotal at loads by using equation (22).
