This unique guide discusses the effects of reactive power on generation, transmission and distribution, and looks at the compensation of existing installations in detail. It outlines methods for determination of reactive power and answers the questions that arise when controlling it, for example, at parallel operation with generators. There is also a chapter focussed on installation, maintenance and disturbances. Key features include:

• A concise overview as well as deep specific knowledge on the segment power factor regulation and power quality
• Theory of reactive power compensation coupled with typical examples of applications from the automotive, metal working and chemicals industry
• Chapter summaries with charts explaining how to put the theory into practice
• Coverage on the cost-saving aspects of this technology, including the efficient use of energy and the reduction of CO2

Zielgruppe

A practical guide for electrical engineers and technicians in utilities, this is also essential reading for maintenance engineers, de signers, electrical contractors, manufacturing companies and researchers, as well as those in industry and planning agencies. Insightful and clear, the book will also appeal to senior undergraduate and graduate electrical engineering students and professors.
