Abstract

A system and method for changing reactive compensation of an electrical system, more specifically, the present invention relates to a system and method for changing and optimizing reactive compensation of a system by using environmental condition sensors to detect conditions that may affect the load in the system. One or more sensors or switches may comprise a plurality of environmental condition sensors used to monitor temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, precipitation, solar load, air impurities, wind speed and the like in additional to a plurality of switches used to adjust, regulate, or optimize reactive compensation within the system.
