Shunt Capacitor Bank

Shant capacitor banks are used to improve the quality of the electrical supply and the efficient operation of the power system.Studies show that a flat voltage profile on the system can significantly reduce line losses.Shunt capacitor banks are relatively inexpensive and can be easily installed anywhere on the network. Shunt capacitor banks are mainly installed to provide capacitive reactive compensation/power factor correction. The use of capacitor bank has increased because they are relatively inexpensive,easy and quick to install and can be deployed virtually anywhere in the network. Its installation has other beneficial effects on the system such as:improvement of the voltage at the load, better voltage regulation,reduction of losses and reduction or postponement of investments in transmission.
