Reactive power dispatch refers to the systematic allocation and control of reactive power within electrical grids to maintain voltage stability, minimize transmission losses, and enhance overall ...

Dynamic reactive power management has emerged as a critical field in modern power systems, addressing the challenges of voltage instability and ensuring grid reliability amid an ever‐increasing ...

Understanding power factor (PF) is important because it gives us a clear understanding of the efficiency of an electrical system. Put simply, it’s the ratio of true power and apparent power, which ...

Power generation facilities produce, and sometimes sell, reactive power, a byproduct of power generation (the primary products being capacity and energy). Reactive power compensation is predicated on ...

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) Order No. 904, Compensation for Reactive Power Within the Standard Power Factor Range, 189 FERC ¶ 61,034 (2024), eliminating most compensation for ...

As coal, gas, and nuclear plants are retired, and wind and solar resources are added to the power grid, stability can become a problem. Understanding the solutions that are available to help manage ...

In a time where capacity revenues are pricing lower and many generation owners find that their facilities are not being dispatched for energy on a consistent basis, reliable revenue streams are ...

Suitable for utility companies, the ADE7753/8 energy-metering ICs measure reactive energy for more precise reading of energy usage. Both feature power line supervisory functions, zero-crossing ...

As coal and gas plants are taken offline to be replaced by wind and solar, grid stability and system strength can become serious challenges. This is due to the inherent inertia provided by rotating ...
