Reactive Power Management

Reactive power management involves controlling certain electrical currents that are essential for maintaining stable voltage levels in power systems, especially when using devices like motors and transformers. Unlike active power, which does useful work, reactive power does not perform actual work but supports the energy exchange needed to keep the electrical system functioning efficiently. Proper management ensures the electricity supply remains stable and reduces energy losses, improving overall system performance. Utilities often use equipment like capacitors to manage reactive power, optimizing power flow and ensuring reliable, cost-effective electricity delivery to consumers.
