All applications of power capacitors require the same basic protection objectives, including system short circuits between phases or to ground within the bank, and element overvoltages, caused by power system overvoltages or by the failure of other elements within the bank.
Due to the larger number of series groups within the can and the power wiring methods used, the overvoltage stress on the unshorted groups is smaller than for externally fused capacitors. As a result, cascaded element failures within the same can are not as common. Typical Capacitor Bank Arrangements
The overall real power is 4636.5 kW, and the reactive power is 2873.5 kVAr. IEEE 34 bus radial distribution system . The new technique (BWO) is used to minimize power loss and annual cost of power loss and enhance the voltage distribution by allocating capacitors in suitable buses.
For all types of capacitor banks, protection against overvoltages that are caused by excessively high system voltage is generally provided by a high speed overvoltage relay connected to the substation bus voltage transformers. This relay trips the capacitor bank breaker or vacuum interrupter before capacitor damage can occur.
System Overvoltage Protection Excessively high system voltage can cause capacitor failure, regardless of the type of capacitor.
The results show that the approach works better in minimizing the operating costs and enhancing the voltage profile by lowering the power loss. Hybrid optimization of particle swarm (PSO) and sequential power loss index (SPLI) has been used to optimal capacitor allocation in radial distribution networks for annual cost reduction .
