How to compensate for the reactive and distorting powers in ship electric power systems

Procedures used to compensate for reactive and distorting powers that do not create active power, but rather cause additional power losses and failures in consumer equipment are examined. It is shown that promising procedures for compensating for reactive power can be implemented using similar methods that take into consderation the peculiarities each of them. It is suggested that reactive energy be compensated for based on powerful low-frequency keys with current modulation using a traditional procedure with a stable carrier frequency; the implementation of active filtration based on high-frequency keys with hysteresis control of modulation is also recommended.
