 Title of the Project :-‘”CONTROL CHARGING OF CAPACITOR BANK “‘

 Project Summary

For improving the power factor, we use a large value Capacitor Bank in
parallel to the load for a single phase or three phase power systems.
Switching of these capacitor banks is made by using contactors or large
current carrying capacity relays. But switching one of the supplies causes
sudden charging of capacitor. This causes high peaks at the output of
capacitor for short period. Due to this sudden surging there is loss of dielectric
in the capacitor & life of capacitor reduces.
We control the switching operation of capacitor bank by using control
circuit. So, life of capacitor bank will increase.

 Technical details of the Projects

o Origin of the Proposal:-

While taking training in G.S.S. Bhinmal during 12 April to 12 May we
observe the following problem in switching capacitor bank. While
switching the capacitor banks there was degradation in their life
because of loss of dielectric in capacitor because of high surges.
We discuss this problem with site engineer and we can along for this
solution that if we can control the switching operation by using a circuit.

o Definition of the problem:-

In transmission lines for power factor improvement capacitor banks
are used. While switching of those capacitor banks surges of high voltage
are generated. Due to those high voltage surges , high dielectric loss take
place in capacitor and sometimes it flashes the capacitor bank. It results
that reduce in life of capacitor banks.

o Objectives:-
1) Reducing the surge voltage while switching the capacitor banks
using control circuit
2) Increasing in life of the capacitor connected in capacitor banks using
control circuit.

o Work Plan:-
1) Design blue print of circuit
2) Program creation for microprocessor used.
3) Do the simulation of the circuit
4) Create a hardware using components, CRO and bread board.
5) Make it for 3phase.
6) Increase the values of banks used.
7) Will be tested on transmission lines 220 Volt load end.
 o Time schedule:-
1) 1phase model within 3 months
2) 3 phase model in next 7 months will be completed.

o Proposed outcome/ findings:-

Switching surges on the capacitor bank will reduce and hence long
life of capacitor banks.

o Details of facilities to be provided by the Institution:-

Function generator, Power System Lab for testing
