    INTRODUCTION

    • Reactive Power appears in every AC power system .


    • Many loads consume active and reactive power.
    • Electric network itself consumes and produces reactive
    power.
    • Transmission and distribution of electric power
    involves reactive power losses.
    REACTIVE POWER
    • Instantaneous power
    Z = jXL (inductive)
    – p(t) = v(t)i(t) = VI sin
    2t
    • Average power is zero
    • The product of VI is called
    reactive power (QL or PQ)
    with unit Volt-Amp
    Reactive (VAR)
    • Reactive power (inductive)
    – QL = VI = I2XL = V2/XL
    (VAR)
    Reactive Power Compensation in Distribution
    Systems:
    • Distribution Systems need supply of reactive
    power:
    • To equalize the reactive power consumption of the
    load.
    • To compensate for the net reactive power losses of
    the distribution network itself.
    • The required reactive power is supplied from:
    • Transmission system
    • Shunt capacitors
    • Static compensators
    Reactive Power Compensation

    • Shunt compensation: straight forward reactive power


    compensation method.
    • Series compensation: line reactance compensation
    method.
    • Earlier means of furnishing reactive power:
    Synchronous motors and condensers
    Shunt capacitors
    • In EHT Lines: Shunt reactors
    Series capacitors
    • Latest Development: Thyristor controlled static
    compensator
    POWER CAPACITORS
    • The power capacitor can be considered to be a VAR-GEN
    (reactive power Source), since it actually supplies needed-
    magnetizing current requirements for inductive loads.
    • The fundamental function of power capacitor is to provide
    needed reactive power compensation.

    SERIES CAPACITORS

    • The power transfer can be increased considerably.


    • Series capacitor can be used as a blocking filter for
    offending harmonics.
    • Used on transmission lines to compensate for
    inductive reactance/ Enhance Power Transfer.
    • These are suited practically to circuits where light
    flicker is encountered due to dynamic load
    fluctuations, such as frequent inrush motor starting,
    electric welders and arc-furnaces.
    SHUNT CAPACITORS

    • Reduce the lagging component of the circuit current.


    • Increase the voltage of the load bus.
    • Improve bus-voltage regulation and power factor.
    • Reduce Transmission losses.
    • Reduce Electricity Billing cost based on KVA
    Demand.
    ADVANTAGES

    • Power factor correction


    • Feeder-Loss Reduction
    • Release of System capacity
    • Voltage- Stabilization/Regulation
    • Efficient Power Utilization
    • Power Quality Enhancement
    • Power Harmonic Filtering
    CONCLUSION
    • We are studying about the compensation of reactive
    power by using capacitor banks in various substations
    under the APTRANSCO to achieve the voltage
    stability of grid system and to maintain power factor.
