3.1.21 Reactive Power Offset Register

The physical significance of POWER_OFFSET_Q is total reactive energy (VAR-hour) offset per full cycle (20 ms for 50 Hz, 16.667 ms for 60 Hz).

POWER_OFFSET_Q is stored in sQ1.30 format and is subtracted each full cycle.

POWER_OFFSET_Q affects only Q and Q_F pulse generation and ACC_Tx pulse accumulators.

If the power offset to be compensated is 0.1 mVArh/cycle, the value to be written in the register is:

POWER_OFFSET_Q = round [0.1 / 1000 * 230] = 107374 = 0x0001A36E.

0.1 mVArh/cycle corresponds to a reactive power of 0.1 / 1000 * 60 * 3600 = 21.6 VAr (at 60 Hz).

Refer to the “PIC32CXMTx Metrology User Guide” (DS50003460) for a more detailed description.
