Abstract

Electrical energy is
one of the most important issues in the world. Electricity generation is a
problem for many countries. Although there are few resources in many countries,
including Turkey, have high losses and leakages. This makes it mandatory not only
to investigate new energy sources but also to use electrical energy more
efficiently. Reactive power is a major source of loss. One of the most
effective methods reducing the losses and increasing the efficiency of the
electric energy systems is Reactive Power Compensation. In particular, an issue
that increases the importance of controlling reactive power in the hybrid
system. Countries are working to improve efficiency, by publishing a law or
communiqué on reactive power compensation. In many countries, power is being
tried to be kept between 85% and 95% using law enforcement. With the developing
technology, this figure has approached 100%. Assuming an average increase from
95% to 97% all over the world, a huge energy source would have been achieved. In
this study, efficiency of over 97% in power coefficient was investigated with
the combined use of quality compensation systems.
