Abstract

Many definitions have been formulated to characterize, detect, and measure active and nonactive current and power for nonsinusoidal and nonperiodic waveforms in electric systems. This paper presents definitions and compensation of nonactive current from the compensation standpoint and provides guidance on how to determine compensation objectives and select detection parameters. The proposed definition is valid to both single and multi-phase power systems. Clear and easy guidance to determine objectives and design parameters of compensation systems is provided
