1. A hybrid reactive power compensation device parallel-connected to a power system to provide reactive power to thereby improve
the power factor, comprising:
a passive type reactive power compensator; and
an active type reactive power compensator serially connected to the passive type reactive power compensator;
wherein the passive type reactive power compensator provides the reactive power so that power capacity of the active type
reactive power compensator is reduced; the active type reactive power compensator of the hybrid reactive power compensation
device can supply a linearly adjustable reactive power within a predetermined range; the active type reactive power compensator
is adapted to provide a current with a nearly sinusoidal waveform for reactive power compensation, thereby avoiding destruction
of the passive type reactive power compensator caused by a power resonance.
