Reactive power equipment is a convoluted domain with utilities having a range of options to address their power quality requirements including Capacitors and STATCOMs. Keeping this in mind, a detailed report was presented focusing on individual equipment types including SVCs, STATCOMs, Capacitors, Reactors, Phase-Shifting Transformers and Reconductoring as all of these are alternates to the technology of the target company. For each of these sub-segments market potential was evaluated in Europe and North America along with the market positioning of existing players.
