Summary
Studying reactive power has been initiated since the inception of power grids. In the past, the capacitor banks and synchronous compensators were only used to provide the reactive power. Nowadays, the game is changed, and power electronic devices have come to help with this issue. End‐users inverter‐based power supplies had the ability to provide real and reactive power support at the distribution level. The other device that can be used to enhance the distribution system power quality is power electronic transformer (PET) as an emerging new type of power converter. The PETs incorporated the benefits of the power electronics into conve7ntional power transformers. This paper focuses on the effects of reactive power interaction of end users and PETs in distribution level and investigates their effects on distribution level voltage profile.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
