Resistive Load
pure power consuming load; voltage and current are in-phase and all Current produces real power
Real Power
Power as measured in Watts (or MW for the Bulk Electric System, or BES)
Reactive Load
A load that is either capacitive or inductive (as to say that these loads have high magnetic or electric fields)
Inductive loads
- Require VARs
- Have components that produce a magnetic field, such as a motor
In inductive loads, the current tends to _______ the voltage by an angle approaching 90°
Current tends to lag voltage
Capacitive Load
- store energy in electric field
- Source of VARs
In capacitive loads, current tends to _______ voltage by an angle approaching 90°
Current tends to lead voltage
VARs
Volt Amperes Reactive
Inductive loads for MVAR control ...
- Shunt Reactors
- Static VAR Compensators
- Loaded transmission lines
- Transformers
Capacitive loads for MVAR control...
- Synchronous Condensers (unloaded, overexcited generators)
- Shunt Capacitors
- static VAR Compensators
- Lightly loaded transmission lines
- Transmission lines open at one end
