How does a capacitor bank improve the power factor of a PV plant?

A capacitor bank improves the power factor of a PV plant by supplying reactive power to compensate for the lagging current caused by inductive loads in the system. To understand this, let's first clarify what power factor is.

What is reactive power compensation in a solar PV integrated grid system?

The most important thing in the solar PV integrated grid system is reactive power compensation. The real power only is supplied to the load by using a PV array system, and also excess real power is shared to the grid, and reactive power is not shared by the PV array system [8-12].

What is a capacitor bank?

A capacitor bank is a collection of several capacitors connected together in series or parallel to store and release electrical energy. In a photovoltaic (PV) plant, a capacitor bank plays a crucial role in maintaining power quality and stability within the electrical systems. Mainly, the capacitor banks will serve for: 1. Power Factor Correction.

How does a capacitor bank provide voltage support?

A capacitor bank provides voltage support by injecting reactive power into the electrical system. When connected to an electrical system, capacitors store and release energy in the form of reactive power. Reactive power is needed to maintain voltage levels in alternating current (AC) systems.

What is the reactive power rating of a fixed capacitor bank?

The reactive power rating of the fixed capacitor bank is determined by the load side's reactive power requirement. A 100 kVAr reactive power capacitor bank is used in this work for reactive power compensation.

Can a solar PV array integrated grid system compensate reactive power dynamically?
