Analysis of the Commercial Aspects of using a Capacitor Bank as a Source of Reactive Power Supply in 220 KV Substation MPPTCL Narsinghpur

Reactive power supply is essential for reliable operation of the electric transmission system. Inadequate supply of reactive power can contribute to voltage collapse, as demonstrated in several recent major power outages. Along with the placement of different reactive power supply measures in electric power systems a proper economic analysis is the must as far as energy conservation and sustainable development is concerned. Capacitor banks were introduced in the electric grid during the first years of 20th century. At that time the electric network with alternating current soon become very large and losses caused by reactive power became a problem.
