无功产生（Reactive power generation） How is reactive power produced? Recently, a friend asked me how reactive power is sent out. I think most people are confused about the concept of reactive power, including some of the electrical staff. Therefore, my understanding of reactive power is specially written for your reference. Please also make comments and discuss each others mistakes. `6! L F3 S+ P0 A# H. I {$y, first of all, there are a few basic things we need to know. 0, E/, N2, b#, A7, U4, K, ` first, what is called active power?. In theory, in an AC circuit, the power supplies the average value of the instantaneous power (or the power consumed by the load resistor) in one cycle. In the way that we can best understand, active power is the electrical power needed to maintain the normal operation of electrical equipment, that is, the electrical power that converts electrical energy into other forms of energy (mechanical energy, light energy, heat energy). * p: P, C, T, T Second, what is reactive power?. In theory, is in a circuit with inductor or capacitor, in the first half period, the power energy into the magnetic field (or electric field) energy stored and then released in the other half cycle, and the storage of magnetic (or electric) energy returned to power again, just this energy exchange, and no real energy consumption, the maximum instantaneous power of this exchange process is called reactive power. Since the loads in the power grid are mostly inductive loads, reactive power is defined as the electrical power required to establish and maintain an alternating magnetic field and induction flux in electrical equipment. This definition is easy to understand, because we all know that the motor is required to establish and maintain a rotating magnetic field, make the rotor to drive the mechanical movement; the transformer also need a coil produce a magnetic field, can be two times the voltageinduction coil. After this understanding, we all know that reactive power i
