Title :
High speed reactive compensation systems for industrial applications

Abstract :
DC motor drive loads are often known to fluctuate extremely rapidly and consume large amounts of reactive power. These loads often create a high level of voltage flicker that frequently exceeds the IEEE recommended limits. Recent technological innovations now allow solid-state switching of capacitors to compensate for highly variable reactive power requirements thereby solving voltage flicker problems and vastly improving distribution system efficiency
