On November 18, 2021, FERC issued a Notice of Inquiry (NOI) seeking comments on reactive power capability compensation and market design. (Link to NOI here). Reactive power is a critical component of ...

Fundamentally, electrical power is developed, delivered, and consumed as voltage and current. In a simple direct current (DC) device such as a flashlight, the power (the brightness of the bulb) is the ...

On March 21, 2024, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) proposing to discontinue compensation for the reactive service that electric generation ...

It hasn’t been that long since humans figured out how to create power grids that integrated multiple generators and consumers. Ever since AC won the battle of the currents, grid operators have had to ...

Understanding power factor (PF) is important because it gives us a clear understanding of the efficiency of an electrical system. Put simply, it’s the ratio of true power and apparent power, which ...

Stability problems can arise in applications in which an amplifier must drive a reactive load. Most amplifiers can easily drive purely resistive loads with no stability problems. However, some ...
