Abstract
This paper extends “Considerations on reactive power in nonsinusoidal situations” [1] to compensation issues. It is shown that the shunt LC compensator can minimize the reactive power of an RL load only if one of its parameters, L or C is fixed. A method of capacitance calculation is presented and it is shown that the inductance choice affects the harmonic suppression. The complexity of a compensator for the total compensation of reactive power is calculated and a method of synthesizing such a compensator is presented.
