In the past, rotating synchronous condensers and fixed or mechanically switched inductors or capacitors have been used for reactive power compensation. Today, static Var generators employ thyristor-switched capacitors and thyristor-controlled reactors to provide reactive power compensation.
2.1. Characterization of the IES The reactive power compensation system was designed to avoid resonance problems and voltage variations in an IES with a predominant use of electric motors and variable speed drives. This IES has also installed new production lines to increase electrical loads.
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
The reactive power compensation and voltage control is primarily performed by selecting shunt devices that are shown in the first line of the figure. The SVCs are capable to present more accurate and smoother control comparing to mechanically switched shunt compensators.
Thus, the main case that should be handled in reactive power compensation by using STATCOM is to control the magnitude of compensator voltage VI. This operation is performed based on two basic principles where one is used in multi-pulse converters and the other one for PWM controlled multilevel converters.
There are two main types of reactive power compensation: a) individual and b) centralized. These two modalities are schematized in Fig. 5 (a) and (b), respectively. There is a third modality that can be considered an intermediate case: c) the compensation in group. These three modalities can coexist in the same installation. Figure 5.

Reactive Power Compensation
The total reactive power of our m otor is Q c total = 5.889 kvar. Whether in star or delta, 1/3 of the reactive power now takes a single capacítor: Q c = 1/3 Q c total = 1/3 * 5.889 kvar = 1.963 kvar To show how the capacítive reactive resístance is related to the reactive power, we make a "bridge" to the ohmic resístance:

Capacitor Banks and Reactive Power Compensation
By supplying reactive power locally, capacitor banks correct the power factor, thus minimizing the amount of non-working power that flows through the network. This correction reduces the burden on the entire power supply infrastructure and enhances overall system efficiency. The application of capacitor banks leads to the reduction of current flowing through …
