Reactive demand at a fee limit calculator

Maximum reactive demand for the fee limit is calculated as C_limit/r_Q + 0.60 × D_bill. Use the stated system boundary and matching input units.

Qlimit=ClimitrQ+0.60×DbillQ_{\text{limit}} = \frac{C_{\text{limit}}}{r_{Q}} + 0.60 \times D_{\text{bill}}

Given

  • ClimitC_{\text{limit}} = 100 $
  • rQr_{Q} = 50 $/kVAR
  • DbillD_{\text{bill}} = 33.33333333 kW
Qlimit=10050+0.60×33.33333333=22Q_{\text{limit}} = \frac{100}{50} + 0.60 \times 33.33333333 = 22
