Four solutions were compared, considering concentrated and distributed compensation with capacitor banks and harmonic filters. Although the cost of investment in concentrated compensation is lower than that of distributed compensation, a higher reduction in electrical losses and a lower payback period are obtained with distributed compensation.

Due to the added transmission capacity, series-capacitor compensation may delay investments in additional overhead lines and transmission equipment, which can have capital investment benefits to the utility company as well as environmental
using traditional reactive power compensations such as series or shunt capacitors, and variable compensators. On the other hand, the most recent compensation technologies under FACTS group enables to manage system stability relevant to voltage control, power demand control, and transient controls [1, 4]. 8.2.2 The Theory of Reactive Power
With a reactive power compensation system with power capacitors directly connected to the low voltage network and close to the power consumer, transmission facilities can be relieved as the reactive power is no longer supplied from the network but provided by the capacitors (Figure 2).
Capacitor Compensation: Uses capacitors for lead reactive power, which solves inductive loads'' reactive power issues, improves power factor, and reduces reactive power demand. Inductor Compensation: Employs inductors to supply lagging reactive power while balancing leading reactive power engendered by capacitive loads.
Reactive compensation is the process of adding or injecting positive and/or negative VAr''s to a power system to essentially attain voltage control. Depending upon the application, reactive compensation can be achieved passively with capacitors and reactors or actively with power electronic solutions such as STATCOMS and Static VAr Generators (SVG''s).

Voltage control and reactive power management are two facets of an ancillary service that enables reliability of the transmission networks and facilitates the electricity market on these networks. Both aspects of this activity are intertwined (voltage change in an alternating current (AC) network is effected through production or absorption of reactive power), so within this
In the past, rotating synchronous condensers and fixed or mechanically switched inductors or capacitors have been used for reactive power compensation. Today, static Var generators employ thyristor-switched capacitors and thyristor-controlled reactors to provide reactive power compensation.
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 stepping of stages and their number is set according to how much reactive power changes in a system.
Reactive power is either generated or consumed in almost every component of the system. Reactive power compensation is defined as the management of reactive power to improve the performance of AC systems. Why reactive power compensation is required? 1. To maintain the voltage profile 2. To reduce the equipment loading 3. To reduce the losses 4.
Thus, the methods for reactive power compensation are nothing but the methods by which poor power factors can be improved. The methods are as follows: Let us now discuss each one separately. 1. Capacitor Banks: In this method, a bank of capacitors forms a connection across the load.
Power capacitors are rated by the amount of reactive power they can generate. The rating used for the power of capacitors is KVAR. Since the SI unit for a capacitor is farad, an equation is used to convert from the capacitance in farad to equivalent reactive power in KVAR.
