Capacitive compensation

Capacitive compensation involves adding capacitors to an electrical power system to improve efficiency and balance. In many systems, the flow of electricity can create delays or uneven voltage, known as reactive power, which doesn't do useful work but causes energy losses. By installing capacitors—devices that store and release electrical energy—these reactive effects are offset, reducing unnecessary energy flow and improving voltage stability. This process helps ensure equipment runs smoothly, reduces energy costs, and enhances overall power quality in the system.
