A recent decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit demonstrates the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC’s) vulnerability to judicial review when it fails to address contested ...

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) Order No. 904, Compensation for Reactive Power Within the Standard Power Factor Range, 189 FERC ¶ 61,034 (2024), eliminating most compensation for ...

Controllable reactors have emerged as pivotal components in modern power systems, offering a flexible means for reactive power compensation and voltage regulation. Recent innovations in their ...

Power factor correction uses parallel connected capacitors to oppose the effects of inductive elements and reduce the phase shift between the voltage and current. Power factor correction is a ...

Inverters are looked at by power utilities as “static” devices since they are not of the type classified as rotating machinery such as electric generators. The power companies require users, who put ...

Electricity transmission network operators are being tasked with adding more renewable energy resources to the power grid. The use of static VAR compensators (SVCs) is growing as a means to control ...

Pulse-width-modulation (PWM) duty cycles above 50% require a compensating ramp — called slope-compensation — to avoid instability. With traditional slope-compensation solutions, it is difficult for ...
