Reactive power is required to increase the electrical grid's capacity. Consequently, a PV inverter providing reactive power is necessary. A PV power system that is currently in use needs a dependable power source to function . The most powerful system is the PV power conditioning unit.

Finally, the economic analysis based on LCOE showed that reactive power capability increases the system costs due to more inverter replacements. The results can serve as motivation for PV owners and power system operators to determine the viability of reactive power injection as an ancillary service of the PV inverter.
When Case 2 is analyzed, the PV inverter compensates the original reactive power profile with Q R = 100 %, and the lifetime is reduced to 4.4, 6.2, and 12.4 for IZA, GOI, and AAL, respectively. Therefore, independent of the region, the reactive power compensation degrades the PV inverter and may reduce its lifetime below the target.
However, the employed PV inverter rated apparent power is 5 kVA, which means that it can only compensates at maximum 5 kvar. Therefore, the reactive power profile used as input of the multifunctional PV inverter is shown in Fig. 12 (a). This profile is measured during 30 consecutive days and replicated to obtain an 1-year mission profile.
