Reactive Power Compensation: Technical and Financial Aspects for Power Engineers

This course covers the definition of reactive power and power factor, followed by the answer to why and how such phenomenon should be compensated. 4 lessons in 1h 27m total course length.

Course Description

In this course, the purpose and methods for reactive power compensation are shown. Unlike numerous articles which cover only theoretical and technical aspects of this issue, practical problems from engineering practice and financial aspects are considered as well. As illustration, numerical examples can be found at the end of this video.

Some design and installation issues that shall be considered in practice will be explained. All major subjects will be illustrated in the form of numerical examples.
