COMMISSIONING OF CAPACITOR
BANKS
• Continuous current rating of all the associated
equipment should be 1.43 times the normal current for
HT capacitors.
PROTECTION
• Protection generally consists of
• Fuse Protection
• System Protection by overcurrent relays
• Bank Protection by relays
ADVANTAGES
• Power factor correction
• Feeder-Loss Reduction
• Release of System capacity
• Voltage- Stabilization/Regulation
• Efficient Power Utilization
• Power Quality Enhancement
• Power Harmonic Filtering
ANALYSIS OF CASE STUDY
CONCLUSION
• Attempts to make the power factor as close as
to unity.
• Proper analysis design and implementation of
the capacitor banks.
• Appropriate mounting and protecting devices
will not only reduce the bill charges but also
make the profit on long term.
FUTURE SCOPE
• The electricity consumption depends upon the
infrastructure loads.
• Hyderabad area is going to consume more
loads in future.
• Practical implementation of the capacitor
placement technique requires further cost-
benefit analysis which in turns depends on the
costs of capacitor bank and energy saving.
