Capacitor banks are key players in stabilizing voltage levels at substations. They help balance out the voltage drops caused by inductive loads through reactive power support. This compensates for the lagging power factor and improves voltage stability across the transmission and distribution networks.
Capacitors are widely used in distribution systems for reactive power compensation to achieve power and energy loss reduction, system capacity release and acceptable voltage profile. The extent of these benefits depends on the location, size, type and number of the capacitors as well as on their control settings.
Key learnings: Capacitor Bank Definition: A capacitor bank is a collection of multiple capacitors used to store electrical energy and enhance the functionality of electrical power systems.; Power Factor Correction: Power factor correction involves adjusting the capacitor bank to optimize the use of electricity, thereby improving the efficiency and reducing costs.

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.
Capacitor banks applied within distribution substations typically consists of one to four banks of switched capacitors as shown in Figure 1 (which shows a three step switched bank). The switched banks are designed to come on and off automatically based on power factor, vars, and/or voltage.
At the same time, the presence of shunt capacitor banks impose constraints on apparatus present in a substation [1,2]. Currently, no specific configuration of shunt capacitor bank is recommended, grounded and ungrounded shunt capacitor banks can exist on the same transmission system.
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.
In the method, the high-potential buses are identified using the sequential power loss index, and the PSO algorithm is used to find the optimal size and location of capacitors, and the authors in have developed enhanced particle swarm optimization (EPSO) for the optimal placement of capacitors to reduce loss in the distribution system.
