1. Connections of capacitor banks This is the most commonly used connection mode for capacitor banks with voltages lower than 12 kV. This configuration, which is used in particular in distribution installations, provides maximum reactive power in minimum dimensions.
In this section, we delve into a practical case study involving the selection and calculation of a capacitor bank situated within a 132 by 11 KV substation. The primary objective of this capacitor bank is to enhance the power factor of a factory.
Composition of LV capacitor banks A distinction is made between fixed value capacitor banks and “step” (or automatic) capacitor banks which have an adjustment system that adapts the compensation to the variations in consumption of the installation.
The uniqueness of this scenario lies in the decision to install the capacitor bank at the 11 KV voltage level, even though the factory receives power from the grid at a higher voltage level of 132kV, with an approved connection capacity of 12 megawatts.
The objective of capacitor placement in the electric network is to minimize the losses and improve voltage profile.
