Abstract
The harmonics lead to overheating of the system, which deteriorates the insulation, impudently breaks down the equipment, and frequently intensifies the fault current. Utilising solid state controllers, which can occasionally draw harmonic currents and cause loads to behave non-linearly, also raises the device's power factor and lowers efficiency. Other negative effects of the current harmonics include tension distortion, spikes, unbalance, flickering, and system failure. Reactive power flow is a characteristic of an electric power system. Reactive power is required for the application of stationary or rotating load types. Reactive power efficiency and alignment in networks vary depending on power factor and setup phase. However, the reactive power flow has a number of unfavourable effects. By raising the drawn line for the same charge rate, it essentially raises the cost, service, and efficiency of the energy unit device. As a result, the percentage for energy stabilisation also drops. Many techniques for reactive energy compensation are mentioned in the literature. These devices can be as simple as a fixed condenser or switcher or as sophisticated as STATCOM, SSSC, and UPFC. Novel methods such as STATCOM, SSSC, and UPFC are solid state circuit devices that generate voltage and current compensation by utilising DC voltage and DC current. These systems differ from new advances in terms of fundamental methods like switched inducers and fixed condensers.
