The basic purpose of a shunt capacitor bank is to increase the local circuit voltage and or reprove the load power factor carried by the circuit.
This paper analyses the influences of the closing time scatter and dielectric characteristic of circuit breaker on synchronous energizing shunt capacitor banks.
Harmonic amplifying by shunt capacitors and countermeasures
The Insulation level between poles and enclosure is important for high voltage shunt capacitors to increase the operation reliability.
Tianshengqiao converter station's, as Tian-Guang HVDC rectifier station, shunt capacitor failures or defects are more serious, affecting the Tian-Guang HVDC transmission system's normal operation.
Low voltage shunt capacitors
Influence of shunt capacitors reactive power compensation on power network electric parameters
According to the conditions of ageing test within endurance test, the expected operation life of a high-voltage shunt capacitor which operates under the standard condition is estimated.
Low voltage shunt capacitors of the self-healing type
In order to improve the safe reliability of shunt capacitor devices, some units like to enlarge the reserved capacity, such as increasing the rated voltage of capacitor, when they choose equipment.
Calculation methods of installation capacitance and group capacitance for shunt capacitor bank are proposed.
High voltage shunt capacitors
The AC harmonic filters furnish part of the required kvar, and where the system is unable to supply the rest of the reactive power, shunt capacitors may be utilized.
