The use of force-commutated current source converter to compensate for the reactive current in distribution networks is described. A 16 bit microcomputer controls the compensator to optimize the current drawn from the mains. Thus, the application of a reactive power compensator (RPC) to a load may allow addition of new loads to existing feeders or substations. It can provide for both lagging and leading reactive power, although the software in the present form mainly caters to lagging power factor loads. This RPC is suited to dynamic compensation of balanced three-phase loads. >read more

Force-Commutated Reactive-Power Compensator
TL;DR: A reactive power compensator (RPC) is a type of static var compensator that is used to dynamically correct power factor to prevent voltage variation (flicker) in ac power sources due to large dynamic loads.
