What is series capacitor compensation?
Series capacitor compensation has been applied for transmission systems to increase the system capacity and enhance its voltage profile. In distribution systems, the main advantage of the series compensation is its voltage boost to the buses downstream from where the capacitor is positioned.
Do shunt capacitors improve voltage profile?
The effect of varying the loads’ power factor is also studied and concluded that worsening the loads’ power factor will increase the effect of series capacitor in improving the voltage profile while shunt capacitors provide an almost constant voltage improvement.
How much voltage does a series capacitor increase with load?
On connecting the series capacitor, the voltage reaches 99.85%, 99.66% and 99.49% for the three load cases, respectively. This represents a respective increase in the voltage by 2.23%, 4.42% and 7.2% in conformity to the adaptive nature of series compensation being increased with the load increase.
