Fundamentals of Reactive Power in AC Power Systems

The fundamentals of reactive power in AC power systems are discussed in the second chapter. The chapter presents basic theory of AC circuits including two-ports linear elements, basic equations and definition of powers in AC circuits. The phasor diagrams and power measurement techniques in AC networks are also presented. The chapter also investigates the effects of reactive power as well as power factor compensation in consumers. The end part of the chapter is related to minimum active and reactive absorbed power in linear AC circuits and also non-sinusoidal conditions. All of the parts include some practical examples and case studies. The chapter is closed with a large list of bibliographic references.
