Why does reactive power compensation belong to energy-saving equipment?

Why does reactive power compensation belong to energy-saving equipment? Capacitors and reactors are mainly used in power transmission and distribution to improve power factor, stabilize voltage and reduce losses in transmission and distribution system. They are the core components of reactive power compensation. Although it accounts for a relatively small proportion in power equipment, it is also a very important and commonly used power equipment. For some mines, wharves, substations and other relatively fixed places, generally only fixed compensation devices or group compensation can fully meet the requirements. However, with the diversification of electrical equipment and the increase of various rectifying, filtering and frequency conversion equipment, there are too many hidden dangers such as harmonics and frequency distortion in the power grid, which will make the power supply on the power side unstable, damaged and harmful to people. Add local filtering and compensation at the power consumption side.

In recent years, global warming is serious, and the double carbon goal (carbon neutrality and carbon peak) needs to be realized as soon as possible. Various types of clean energy, solar energy, wind power generation, and energy storage equipment have greatly improved the utilization rate of energy. In the process of power transmission and distribution, reactive power compensation equipment with higher requirements is required to achieve accurate compensation in one or several cycles. Let's make the sky bluer, the water clearer and the air fresher. Every power industry practitioner makes a contribution to our environment, so that every kilowatt of electricity can do its best.
