what is the use of capacitor bands?

Answer Posted / luke

Its a capacitor bank .
Capacitor banks are used to compensate for the reactive loads which causes low power factor.In industries value below 0.9 are imposed with penalty.So for inductive loads and Harmonic compensation capacitor banks are connected to improve the Pf.
loads include
Ups
Inverters
Air conditioners
Motors
Arc furnaces etc
Kvar value for compensation can be found by

KW X correction factor
(calculate KW from your MD)

(1)The demand for electricity , the amount of renewable generation available, the amount of fossil fuel generation available and the cost of the fossil fuel generation are shown in table below period(hrs) demand(MW) renewable (MW) fossil- fuel(MW) cost of fossil fuel(MW) 00.00 - 01.00 2000 1800 2000 30 01.00 - 02.00 2300 2500 2000 30 02.00 - 03.00 2500 2700 2100 45 03.00 - 04.00 2900 3100 2100 50 04.00 - 05.00 2700 2600 2500 45 05.00 - 06.00 2400 2000 2700 50 06.00 - 07.00 2200 1800 2000 36 07.00 - 08.00 2100 1600 2000 36 Assuming that the renewable generation incurs zero cost, determine an optimal generation schedule(specifying the amount of renewable generation and fossil fuel generation used in each period, the cost for each period and the overall cost for 8 hours.)
