Abstract: The actual compensation of capacitor capacity has a very close relationship with the voltage level of the access points. Therefore, based on the power flow analysis, a compensation method, which considers the capacitor’s voltage characteristics, is proposed to use the sorting method for node reactive power margins to find the best configuration for reactive power source access. The method is applied to the distribution system of a region for analyzing the reactive compensation and the results of simulation and actual testing proves the method’s high efficiency.

Key words: power system, distribution system, reactive power compensation, capacitor, voltage-dependent characteristics, node, reactive power margin, compensation method, sorting method
