Comments on “considerations on the reactive power in nonsinusoidal situations”

The LC compensator proposed by L.S. Czarnecki (1986) is asserted to have a maximum power factor, but costs more than pure capacitance compensators. However, an optimum power factor with respect to L and C may not exist, but an optimum for a given compensator cost does, and it may be less expensive than a pure capacitance compensator rendering the same power factor.
