    The document discusses reactive power control in power systems. It explains that reactive power is supplied by capacitive loads and consumed by inductive loads. Generators, shunt reactors, shunt capacitors, and tap changing transformers can be used as controllable sources of reactive power. The goal of reactive power control is to maintain equilibrium between inductive and capacitive reactive power such that the system operates at unity power factor. This can be achieved through controlled use of parallel capacitive and inductive branches, using methods such as reactive power controllers with mechanically switched banks and static variable compensators with thyristor switched banks.
