Systems with higher X/R ratios result in longer duration transients. Transients associated with substation capacitor banks can last as long as long at 30 to 40 cycles. There are three power quality concerns associated with single capacitor bank switching transients.
The capacitor bank is equipped with 0.040 mH transient inrush reactors to limit the frequency and magnitude of the transient currents associated with back-to-back capacitor bank switching.
The capacitor bank was re-energized at the voltage peak opposite in polarity with the trapped voltage to simulate the maximum transient. Table II shows the transient voltages for different combinations. Table II. Transient peak voltages for capacitor bank re- energization Cap.
The selective capacitor from the bank will be switched ON/OFF based on reactive power being compensated. This design shows the switching of the capacitor bank in five steps for improving the lagging PF (towards unity). This is implemented by switching three relays and two transistor outputs.
Using different portions of this system, five transients can be addressed: 1) energization inrush, 2) back-to-back energization, 3) outrush into a nearby fault, 4) voltage magnification, and 5) transient recovery voltage (TRV). Figure 1. A simple 34.5-kV per-phase system used to illustrate capacitor bank transients. 1.
Shunt capacitor bank switching transients are often a concern for utility and industrial engineers that are planning to apply capacitors at the distribution voltage level (4.16 kV through 34.5 kV).
