is
costly
and
generally
leads
to
overcompensation since it does not include
combining possibilities for load increases.
Example: large medium and low voltage
motors.
It is more economical to install capacitor banks
for MV and HV for power ratings exceeding
about 1,000 kVAr. However, analysis of
different countries networks shows that there is
no universal rule.
The compensation mode depends on
the country's and company's distributors energy
policy. In the U.S.A. compen- sation is
essentially in MV for tariff policy reasons. In
contrast in Germany, compensation is done in
LV, because it is logical to compensate exactly
at the
reactive energy consumption point.
in France, EDF installs fixed banks on the 63
and 90 kV networks and multiple banks in its
HV/MV substations on its
10, 15, and 20 kV networks.
The power on the latter can reach
4.8 MVAr at 20 kV.
MV compensation techniques
Standards compensation
The capacitor banks are connected in parallel to
the network.

Dicharging of MV Capacitor
In the 66 kV and below power system, discharge
coil shunted with high-voltage capacitors
quickly release the
residual charge of the capacitor as it removed
from the power system to ensure the security
of the capacitor itself
and other devices when they are put into use
again [1]. The whole process of discharge can
be equaled with RLC
Charging Method
Discharge
discharge:
time
for
constant
resistance
t= CR ln ( V1 / V0 )
Where:
t discharge time,
V0 initial voltage
V1 ending voltage
I current
Measure Capacitance
Super capacitors have such large capacitance
values that standard measuring equipment
cannot be used to measure the capacity of
these capacitors.
t= Cx ( V0 V1 ) / I
Discharge Method
low-impedance
supercapacitors charge in seconds.
Simple charge methods voltage-limiting circuit
compensates for selfdischarge; no full-charge
detection circuit needed.
Cost-effective energy storage lower energy
density is compensated by a very high cycle
count.
Almost zero maintenance and long life, with
little degradation over hundreds of thousands
of cycles.
While
most
commercially
available
rechargeable batteries can be charged 200 to
1000 times, ultracapacitors can be charged and
discharged hundreds of thousands of times with
no damage.However, in reality, they can be
charged and discharged virtually unlimited
number of times, and will last for the entire
lifetime of most devices and applications they
are used in, thus making them environmentally
friendly.
