Such reactive power compensation devices are: The passive reactive power compensation includes the capacitor bank installation for reactive power injection. The active reactive power compensation consists of the use of flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices to change the reactive power and active power requirement.
The generated KVAR of the capacitor bank is given by… Reactive power, Qc = (Q1 − Q2) = [P × tan (∅1) − P × tan (∅2)] = P [tan (∅1) − tan (∅2)] As we get the required compensation value of reactive power provided by the capacitor bank then we can find out the capacitance of that bank. ‘Xc’ is the Impedance offered by the capacitor.
Instead of using capacitor banks, there is a different alternative to compensate the reactive power that is based on the use of synchronous compensators. These are synchronous machines that, operating with null active power, can behave either as variable capacitors or coils, by simply changing their excitation current .
Use of capacitive (shunt compensation) on various part of the power system improves power factor, Reduce power losses, improves voltage regulation and increased utilization of equipment. Reference: Electric power generation, Transmission and distribution by Leonard L.Grigsby. Power system supply or consumes both active and reactive power.
The inductive and capacitive reactances are frequency dependent (hence are only present in AC systems), oppose each other and are at right angles to the pure (DC) resistance. The net reactance, which is usually inductive, opposes the flow of current, and the power required to overcome this reactance is called reactive power (Q).
Series capacitors are very effective when the total line reactance is high. Series capacitors are effective to compensate for voltage drop and voltage fluctuations. Series capacitors are of little value when the reactive power requirements of the load are small.
