The research article investigates on the importance of reactive power and reactive power compensation technologies implements in smart grid which are based on STATCOM. Reactive power injection in the smart grid is extremely important for system stability, voltage regulation, power factor enhancement, system reliability, system performance and overall efficiency of system. The quality of the transmitted power over long distance is subjected to the optimal insertion of reactive power. Reactive power management in smart grid is area of interest of research scholar since the transmission system comes in to existence. In this article we have carried out an analytical investigate on different technologies used for the objective task and also conduct the literature survey on the respective topic.
