Popis:	This paper presents an efficient solution for reactive power control of capacitor bank using changes in reactance of connected reactor. This solution ensures smooth control of reactive power of capacitor banks as important operational characteristic for maintaining the quality of supply. The proposed method works for a wide-range of reactive power variations in the system and is capable of injecting or absorbing reactive power when necessary. This control method can be successfully used in distribution and industrial networks where many loads vary their demand for reactive power. Other applications of this method are voltage regulation, power-factor correction and reactive power compensation. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through the case studies in order to prove its feasibility for improvement of voltage profile and reduction of power losses.
