This paper proposes a dynamic capacitor (D-CAP) based on the family of inverter-less active filters that is able to provide a dynamically controllable capacitance with active harmonic filtering integrated into the same unit. This new device is seen to be compact, and is likely to be cost competitive against simple switched shunt capacitors.
With dynamic real-time compensation, a combination of high-speed controller and thyristor power modules is substituted for the conventional components (reactive power controller and capacitor contactor).
Some of the advantages of dynamic reactive power compensation are listed below: Improvement of the power quality. Increase in available power (i.e. improved power network utilization). Decrease in transmission losses. The advantages of switching with thyristors are: No high switch-on currents. Transient-free switching.
The application area of these systems is the compensation of static or slowly changing loads with switching cycles in the range of minutes. Dynamic (delay-free) reactive power compensation systems (i.e. with thyristor-switched capacitors) can prevent or reduce network perturbations such as brief drops in voltage and flicker.
The real-time power factor compensation equipment generally switches on and off during zero current crossing, so avoiding transient interference completely. Furthermore, brief voltage fluctuations and the related flickering of the bulb in lamps are increasingly becoming problems for electrical power technology.
Another positive effect of the dynamic reactive power system is the ‘soft’ switching of the capacitors. Conventional equipment with air contactors creates transient inrush currents which not only affect the compensation components, but can also lead to damage and perturbations (or distortions) of consumers.

Power Factor Correction: Reactive Power Compensation Methods
Since capacitors have a leading power factor, and reactive power is not a constant power, designing a capacitor bank must consider different reactive power needs. For example, the configuration for a 5-stage capacitor bank with a 170 KVAR maximum reactive power rating could be 1:1:1:1:1, meaning 5*34 KVAR or 1:2:2:4:8 with 1 as 10 KVAR. The …
