Reactive Power, Voltage Stability, and Control course

Created by Kathie Zipp (See other events)
In today's power grid, reactive power causes more blackouts than poor damping and energy instability combined. Reactive power problems are more severe for heavily loaded transmission systems and when equipment with high demands for reactive power, such as wind turbines and arc furnaces, are utilized. The cyclic nature of reactive power in some equipment adds more challenges for utility engineers when classic solutions cannot effectively address the problem.

This course is designed to cover the concept of reactive power, its impact on system losses and grid voltage, the concept of voltage collapse, the planning of reactive power, the cyclic problem of reactive power, and classic and advanced methods for compensating for reactive power in utility systems.
