Capacitor banks are composed of many individual capacitor units electrically connected to function as a complete system. Units are connected in series to meet required operating voltage, and in parallel to achieve the required kvar (graphically represented in Figure 7).

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.
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.
Therefore, to improve system efficiency and power factor, capacitor banks are used, which lessen the system’s inductive effect by reducing lag in current. This, ultimately, raises the power factor. So, we can say that capacitor banks reduce power losses by improving or correcting the power factor. They are commonly used for these three reasons:
The installation of the capacitor bank in the substation adopts a double-star configuration. In this arrangement, capacitors are strategically positioned to create a star connection, and two such double-star-connected capacitor configurations are subsequently connected in parallel.
