Voltage mode parallel active compensators have one significant disadvantage: the power factor depends on the load’s active power and line voltage. This causes PF deterioration, especially in the case of line voltage dips and swells (although the load voltage in PCC still is stable).
Capacitor provides reactive impedance that causes proportional voltage to the line current when it is series connected to the line. The compensation voltage is changed regarding to the transmission angle δ and line current. The delivered power P S is a function of the series compensation degree s where it is given by
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 .
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.
Benefits of Using Capacitor Banks: Employing capacitor banks leads to improved power efficiency, reduced utility charges, and enhanced voltage regulation. Practical Applications: Capacitor banks are integral in applications requiring stable and efficient power supply, such as in industrial settings and electrical substations.
The reactive power compensation and voltage control is primarily performed by selecting shunt devices that are shown in the first line of the figure. The SVCs are capable to present more accurate and smoother control comparing to mechanically switched shunt compensators.
