Abstract :
This review presents an analysis of the over
voltage electromagnetic transient’s phenomena during an
energizing and de-energizing of capacitor banks. The
investigation has been extended to non-linear loads and
distributed power systems in medium voltage electrical
system. In addition, sensitive analyses of characterization
impact factors have been discussed. Effects of switching
transients of the capacitor bank on the regression of power
quality in distribution systems have been analyzed and the
results are presented in detail. The outcome of this study
provides practically significant information for the power
engineers that design electrical networks for medium
voltage distribution systems.
