Reactive power is power that is reflected back to the grid — as opposed to active power, which is power that is consumed by the load. Similar to the pressure that pushes water through a pipe, voltage acts as the pressure that pushes electrical current through power lines. To do this, voltage draws on reactive power.
Under normal system conditions, both peak or off peak load conditions, the voltages need to be maintained between 95% and 105% of the nominal. Low voltage conditions could result in equipment malfunctions: Motor will stall, overheat or damage. Reactive power output of capacitors will be reduced exponentially.
Reactive Power. Reactive Power can best be described as the quantity of "unused" power that is developed by reactive components in an AC circuit or system. In a DC circuit, the product of "volts x amps" gives the power …

On the other hand, because of the unequal line impedances, the conventional reactive power-voltage (Q–V) droop control results in disproportional reactivepower-sharing.

Energy storage systems are considered as a solution for the aforementioned challenges by facilitating the renewable energy sources penetration level, reducing the voltage fluctuations, improving the power quality and frequency, active and reactive power control, and improving the reliability of the system.
In consequence, when the energy storage system is at its maximum discharge mode, the reactive power compensation function will be inhibited. Since the multi-objective optimization generates a Pareto-optimal set with a large number of solutions, an approach to support the choice of the solution is also proposed.
