Electrical Power Systems

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Reactive Power Control in AC Power Systems

Part of the book series: Power Systems ((POWSYS))

Abstract

The general description of architecture and classification of power systems are presented at the beginning of the first chapter. Afterwards the basic concepts and analysis methods of electrical power systems are given, being accompanied by many examples of calculation. Also the power flow between the generators and consumers has been considered. In order to characterize the parameters of power systems next section of the first chapter is dedicated to measurement methods of power systems parameters. Electrical energy needed to power industrial or household electric consumers, like any other product, should satisfy specific quality requirements. In this respect the power quality aspects and the standards for power systems parameters are presented. The flow of reactive power and energy in power systems produces significant effects on the optimal functioning of suppliers and customers which are connected. Therefore in the last section of first chapter is defined the importance of reactive power in AC power systems and on its various understandings. Usually the first chapter is closed with a large list of bibliographic references.
