Abstract :Electrical energy is one of the most important issues in the world. Electricity generation is a problem for many countries. Although there are few resources in many countries, including Turkey, have high losses and leakages. This makes it mandatory not only to investigate new energy sources but also to use electrical energy more efficiently. Reactive power is a major source of loss. One of the most effective methods reducing the losses and increasing the efficiency of the electric energy systems is Reactive Power Compensation. In particular, an issue that increases the importance of controlling reactive power in the hybrid system. Countries are working to improve efficiency, by publishing a law or communiqué on reactive power compensation. In many countries, power is being tried to be kept between 85% and 95% using law enforcement. With the developing technology, this figure has approached 100%. Assuming an average increase from 95% to 97% all over the world, a huge energy source would have been achieved. In this study, efficiency of over 97% in power coefficient was investigated with the combined use of quality compensation systems.
