This is the fifth of five articles in the series “Reactive Power in Utility-Scale Solar PV Applications.”
In the previous four posts in this series, we discussed what reactive power is and where it comes from, its impact on T&D systems, and inverter-based resources’ capabilities for reactive power injection and absorption.
As mentioned in Blog #2 of […]
This is the fourth of five articles in the series “Reactive Power in Utility-Scale Solar PV Applications.” Here’s the last article – “Inverter-Based Resources Reactive Power Capabilities” – in case you need to catch up.
In the earlier articles in this series, we’ve looked at the purpose of reactive power, power ratings of utility-scale solar inverters, and how […]
This is the third of five articles in the series “Reactive Power in Utility-Scale Solar PV Applications.” Here’s the last article – “Reactive Power and Transmission & Distribution Operations” – in case you need to catch up.
Inverters are a key component of any Inverter-Based Resources (IBR) facility, including utility-scale solar PV. Because of their ability […]
This is the second of five articles in the series “Reactive Power in Utility-Scale Solar PV Applications.”
In Part 1 of this series, we looked at the differences and relationship between real, reactive, and apparent power. We also looked at the production and absorption of reactive power by equipment such as transformers, reactors, and capacitors.
Before we […]
This is the first of five articles in the series “Reactive Power in Utility-Scale Solar PV Applications.”
Right after I started my first job out of college, I found myself presenting at a meeting and talking about reactive power and VArs. These were very senior-level engineers, and, although I didn’t recognize it at the time, never […]
