Summary:
The cost of providing reactive power by the generation plants can be decomposed in two parts: a fixed part related to the required investment and a variable part related to the actual operation. The amount of the fixed part is quite difficult to evaluate and highly debated. On the other hand, the variable cost can be accurately computed. This cost is required if the generators are to be remunerated on an unbundled services basis. A way to compute this cost is shown, as well as some remarks on the typical results and a study case.
