The only practical guide to cover reactive power compensation in detail, presenting the design, application and operation of reactive power equipment and installations Written by experts in the field, this book is roughly (i.e. 20%) based on their successful German title Blindstrom-Kompensation in der Betriebspraxis (Reactive Compensation in Operational Practice). It first gives an overview of reactive power consumers and reactive power. The next chapters discuss the effects of reactive power on generation, transmission and distribution, and in reactive power energy contracts. Methods for determination of the reactive power and power factor are looked at, and then the improvement of power factor. The book then goes on to look at the design, arrangement and power of LV-capacitors and the determination of the required power of capacitors. The compensation of existing installations is covered in detail, as is the control and de-loading of reactive power. This unique book analyses the de-loading and the protection of capacitors and compensation, before covering the switching of capacitors in detail. There is a chapter devoted to installation, maintenance and disturbances, also a separate chapter on reactive power compensation of generation and unit special considerations. Finally, the book presents compensation and power converters. * Presents a concise overview as well as deep specific knowledge on the Segment Power Factor Regulation and Network Quality * The theory of reactive power compensation is coupled with typical application examples such as car manufacturing, metal rolling and chemical works * Includes chapter summaries with charts explaining how to put the theory into practice * Covers the economical aspects of this technology, including the efficient use of energy and the reduction of CO2
