Capacitor banks play a pivotal role in substations, serving the dual purpose of enhancing the power factor of the system and mitigating harmonics, which ultimately yields a cascade of advantages. Primarily, by improving the power factor, capacitor banks contribute to a host of operational efficiencies.
In this section, we delve into a practical case study involving the selection and calculation of a capacitor bank situated within a 132 by 11 KV substation. The primary objective of this capacitor bank is to enhance the power factor of a factory.
11.3.5 The area inside the substation apart from trenches and plant foundations should be 200mm thick reinforced concrete slab. 11.3.6 A 50mm diameter drainage pipe with valve shall be provided adjacent to the gate. The valve shall normally be closed for oil containment and shall only be opened in order to drain any accumulated rain water. 12.
The uniqueness of this scenario lies in the decision to install the capacitor bank at the 11 KV voltage level, even though the factory receives power from the grid at a higher voltage level of 132kV, with an approved connection capacity of 12 megawatts.
Moreover, the protection settings for the capacitor bank unfold systematically, elucidating the process of selecting the current transformer ratio, calculating rated and maximum overload currents, and determining the percentage impedance for fault MVA calculations.
The developer and / or the building owner of the substation is recommended to follow the standard requirement of double slab, which headroom of 1000mm under slab and 600mm underneath beam. However, in case the developer has encountered specific site difficulties and with substantiation provided such as: tight construction programme.
