Abstract: This paper describes specific issues of reactive (Q) power management. One proposes to enhance the concept of Q-power management to make it more energy-efficiency oriented and to stimulate cost-effective response from end users. Such Q-management shall embrace energy efficiency optimisation on supply and demand sides and become an element of DSM programs to create price signals for investment in Q-management equipment. The current attempts to stimulate the optimal Q-power management are not effective. The present Q-power tariff does not encourage investments in Q-power resources. The methods practically applied in large power systems for estimation of active power losses caused by Q-power are not suitable for energy auditors.
