wat is the importance of reactive power in power
generation.....if it is zero means wat will happen to
system........

Answer Posted / vishwanth.g

hello to all, this is what i think---
this is a great question but reactive power never become
zero,may be for some <1sec or in instances.
if it becomes 0 its a great help to power system to supply
power at high efficiency to understand this u need to know
the source of reactive power,generator produces reactive and
real power p+jq,so q is due to excitation in generator ,and
P-real power is due to armature or to say rotating part of
machine.
as components get connected to GENERATOR,like
transformer,transmission line and distribution system,this
components absorbs or produce reactive power,
reactive power is a imaginary term used by engg to maintain
voltage or to say power at the load,basic thing here is
magnetic field----absorbs reactive power,electric field
---produce reactive power,
transformer----absorbs reactive power
transmission line-light loads-produce reactive power
heavy loads-absorbs reactive power
now advance in connected equipments which are all mostly
these days electronic component so reactive power is
generated i,e --static relays etc
at the end how inductive and capacitive components behaves
in power system----which was answer by many above

every answer above related to voltage quality or power
quality so i have added the basic thing to understand
reactive power movement u need to trace the sources in POWER
SYSTEM.
HOPE my answer could help some one
