            Abstract : 
Kyushu Electric Power Company (KEP) already has the automatic load dispatching control system by using a digital computer for process control. In addition to the existing computer control system, KEP put into service the control of power system voltage and reactive power early in 1968. The necessity, principle, and method of the centralized control system of system voltage and reactive power in KEP is discussed.
