SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING COLLABORATING POWER CONTROLLERS
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving a message associated with a detection of reactive power in an energy system; and
inducing a first quantity of reactive power at a power level specified in the message, wherein the first quantity of reactive power is induced in order to mitigate a second quantity of reactive power that is detected on a specific segment of the energy system, and wherein the first quantity of reactive power is induced at a local level on which a source associated with the second quantity of reactive power operates.

Abstract
A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving a message associated with a detection of reactive power in an energy system and inducing a first quantity of reactive power at a power level specified in the message. The first quantity of reactive power is induced in order to mitigate a second quantity of reactive power that is detected on a specific segment of the energy system. The first quantity of reactive power is induced at a local level on which a source associated with the second quantity of reactive power operates. In more specific embodiments, the message is sent in response to a sensor detecting the second quantity of reactive power, where the first quantity and the second quantity of reactive power are the same. In other embodiments, the method can include receiving a second message to stop mitigating the first quantity of reactive power.
