Capacitor Banks and its effects on the power system with high harmonic loads. In order to utilize the electrical system effectively, industries are installing capacitor bank in their power circuit. The use of power electronic devices has increased in recent years which resulted in an increase of harmonics in the power system.
In the circumstances many of industrial supply systems consist of a combination of tuned filters and a capacitor bank. Investigation of interaction between capacitor banks and harmonic filters within an industrial power supply system is carried out.
Capacitor Bank Behaves as a Harmonic Source. There are many capacitor banks installed in indus- trial and overhead distribution systems. Each capaci- tor bank is a source of harmonic currents of order h, which is determined by the system short-circuit impedance (at the capacitor location) and the capac- itor size.
As a result, the capacitor bank acts like a sink, attracting unfiltered harmonic currents. This effect increases the thermal and dielectric stresses to the capacitor units (i.e. overload). To illustrate, consider a harmonic-rich electrical system with 5 th harmonic voltage of around 20% the fundamental.
In order to utilize the electrical system effectively, industries are installing capacitor bank in their power circuit. The use of power electronic devices has increased in recent years which resulted in an increase of harmonics in the power system. This has urged the need to study, understand the behavior of harmonics in different conditions.
The Effects of Harmonics on Capacitors include additional heating – and in severe cases overloading, increased dielectric or voltage stress, and unwanted losses. Also, the combination of harmonics and capacitors in a system could lead to a more severe power quality condition called harmonic resonance, which has the potential for extensive damage.
