The paper presents an intelligent system that aims to maximum possible compensate the level of the reactive power within a given power grid, usually present at factory sites or large electric vehicles such as ships. The novelty consists in the compensation method, which is performed using the already existing synchronous machines operating as motors below rated load. It is presented the control algorithm of the motor in order to achieve the maximum reactive power compensation and an example of an automated system implementation is provided.
