The reactive power drawn by the synchronous motor is a function of its field excitation. en.wikipedia.org

Moreover, with different control schemes a wind turbine with a permanent magnet synchronous generator can provide or consume reactive power. en.wikipedia.org

While reactive power does not provide useful work, it is essential for motors and transformers to work. en.wikipedia.org

However, supplying reactive power to the grid might be necessary to keep the voltage in the local grid inside allowed limitations. en.wikipedia.org

In most cases, the reactive power is inductive and can therefore be cancelled out with banks of capacitors. en.wikipedia.org

Conventionally, capacitors are considered to generate reactive power and inductors to consume it. en.wikipedia.org

First, as the rotor circuit is controlled by a power electronics converter, the induction generator is able to both import and export reactive power. en.wikipedia.org

Reactive power flow strongly influences the voltage levels across the network. en.wikipedia.org

As reactive current increases, the reactive power increases and the power factor decreases. en.wikipedia.org

Reactive power from a capacitor bank decreases when grid voltage decreases, while a synchronous condenser can increase reactive current as voltage decreases. en.wikipedia.org
