Reactive Power Compensation in The Four Load Quadrants: 7.1.1 Technical Consideration

This document discusses reactive power compensation in the four load quadrants. It explains that reactive power can only have a positive or negative sign, depending on whether the load is inductive or capacitive. The document outlines different target power factor settings on the reactive power control relay for inductive and capacitive loads. It also discusses differences between generator and motor operation in terms of reactive power compensation needs.
