31. The reactive power Q ( measured in units of volt-amperes reactive or var ) is given by: 32. Unlike a capacitor bank, the amount of reactive power from a synchronous condenser can be continuously adjusted. 33. This practice alone does not save energy in a direct way, because reactive power does no work. 34. The reactive power indicates that the DNG shell acts as a natural matching network for the dipole. 35. In this case, only reactive power flows there is no net transfer of energy to the load. 36. The same circuit could have been arrived at by designing from Boucherot's minimising reactive power point of view. 37. As reactive power can be either positive or negative, this leads to the concept of cancelling it out. 38. The reactive power balance equation is: 39. They improve transmission quality and efficiency of power transmission by supplying inductive or reactive power to the grid. 40. The results of such an analysis are in terms of active power, reactive power , magnitude and phase angle.
