Abstract
A reactive power compensation device includes a power converter and a converter control unit, and compensates reactive power of an AC power grid by output reactive power of the power converter. The converter control unit includes an AC voltage detection unit and an output limit unit. The AC voltage detection unit detects voltage information of the AC power grid to which the power converter is connected. The output limit unit determines whether or not the output reactive power of the power converter needs to be limited, on the basis of the voltage information detected by the AC voltage detection unit, and in a case where the output reactive power needs to be limited, limits the output reactive power of the power converter.
