3.1 Dual voltage regulation-reactive compensation
A load supplied by a network can be characterized by the active power it consumes and by the phase shift between the voltage at its terminals and the current flowing through it. The phase shift induces the notion of the load's reactive power.
By convention, an inductive load absorbs reactive power; a capacitive load supplies reactive power. The network itself can supply reactive power when lightly loaded...
