To design a basic reactive power compensation system. The intuitive idea underlying the reactive power compensation process is the following one: to avoid the penalties that the electric utility imposes due to the consumption of reactive power (Q) by the R-L loads, the customer installs capacitor banks.
The capacitive power can be determined with the factor k for a given effective power. The k factor is read from a table 1 – Multipliers to determine capacitor kilovars required for power factor correction ( see below ) and multiplied by the effective power.
This paper proposes an approach to optimize the sizing and allocation of a fixed capacitor in a radial distribution network to compensate reactive power. The optimization problem is formulated as a minimization of the line loss of the network with the load profile within 24 hours. Constraints refer to node voltage quality and power flow.
Reactive power compensation play an important role in modern era because supplier companies take charges of it, if it exceeds a predetermined value so different companies enforce users to compensate it.

Since capacitors have a leading power factor, and reactive power is not a constant power, designing a capacitor bank must consider different reactive power needs. For example, the configuration for a 5-stage capacitor bank with a 170 KVAR maximum reactive power rating could be 1:1:1:1:1, meaning 5*34 KVAR or 1:2:2:4:8 with 1 as 10 KVAR. The
This is the process "reactive power compensation". In most cases, the compensation is capacitive. A system may use capacitors in parallel (shunt) to line, or it may be in series, incorporated in the transmission line circuit. Depending on application, the compensation may be done using passive devices, active electronic circuits or synchronous generators.
Reactive power compensation systems work by dynamically adjusting the amount of reactive power in an electrical system to optimize performance, enhance power quality, and maintain voltage stability. The working principles vary depending on the type of technology used, but the core aim remains the same: managing reactive power to meet the needs of the power system

In simplest terms, reactive compensation is addition of reactive power devices, whether capacitive or inductive, to get a specific output. The specific output could be greater transmission capacity, enhanced stability, better voltage profile as also improved power factor.
Shunt capacitor banks have several advantages over other types of reactive power compensation devices, such as: They are relatively simple, cheap, and easy to install and maintain. They can be switched on or off according to the load variation or system requirement. They can be divided into smaller units or steps to provide more flexibility and accuracy in

When reactive power devices, whether capacitive or inductive, are purposefully added to a power network in order to produce a specific outcome, this is referred to as compensation. It''s as simple as that. This could involve greater transmission capacity, enhanced stability performance, and enhanced voltage profiles as well as improved power
Reactive compensation is the process of adding or injecting positive and/or negative VAr''s to a power system to essentially attain voltage control. Depending upon the application, reactive compensation can be achieved passively with capacitors and reactors or actively with power electronic solutions such as STATCOMS and Static VAr Generators
In order to check, if the capacitors are suitable for reactive power compensation and match the project assumptions, one can decode the capacitor type description in compliance with Table 7. Basing on the two
There is a novel method to actively compensate for the reactive current caused by the EMI capacitor. Moreover, the PFC current-loop reference is reshaped at the AC zero-crossing to accommodate for the fact that any reverse current will be blocked by the diode bridge. Both PF and THD are improved as a result. Figure 3.
Once the problems of reactive power generation, transmission and distribution have been exposed, we will proceed to describe the actions that the customers can adopt in order to avoid or minimize the corresponding penalization in the electricity bill. These actions are covered by the denomination ‘reactive power compensation’.
The proposed method for EMI-capacitor compensation uses this red waveform as its current reference. In theory, if the PFC current loop uses this as its reference, the EMI-capacitor reactive current can be fully compensated, and the PF can be increased. The proposed current reference is further improved as shown in Figure 5.
Excellent. The aim of project called „Reactive power compensation panel” was to design capacitor bank with rated power of 200kVar and rated voltage of 400V adapted for operation with mains, where higher order harmonics are present. The capacitor bank was to be power capacitor based with automatic control by power factor regulator.
Since the detuning factor for the project was given as p=7%, one knows that the capacitor bank needs to be equipped with reactors. For this reason, some calculations have to be performed, in order to fit the power of the capacitors and its rated voltage taking into account reactive power of a detuning reactors.
Considering power capacitor with rated power of 20 kvar and rated voltage of 440V supplied by mains at Un=400V. This type of calculation is true, if there is no reactor connected in series with capacitor. Once we know the total reactive power of the capacitors, we can choose series of capacitors for PF correction.
