How does a capacitor provide reactive impedance?

Capacitor provides reactive impedance that causes proportional voltage to the line current when it is series connected to the line. The compensation voltage is changed regarding to the transmission angle δ and line current. The delivered power P S is a function of the series compensation degree s where it is given by

Are fixed capacitor banks a good choice for reactive power compensation?

Fixed capacitor banks are an economical choice for individual inductive loads or a group of loads that has a relatively constant demand for reactive power. Examples of such loads are induction motors and transformers. This paper derives simple and compact expression for power of fixed capacitor bank for reactive power compensation
