E – 1983 Capacitor Banks The Glue Holding the Electric Transmission & Distribution System Together & Renewables’ Impact
$75.00
Courses Included
In this course, you’ll learn the numerous advantages that capacitors provide for the entire system. The various capacitor types will be covered. This course also covers the power triangle, system losses, generator D-curves, voltage coordination, Voltage VAR Optimization, voltage regulation, and contingency analysis.
Reactive power is like the glue that keeps the electric grid intact. Because voltage is the potential/pressure difference, reactive power is the tool needed to maintain proper “pressure”/voltage.
Adequate reactive power is extremely crucial during emergency events when a generator, a transmission line, etc. is not available. Capacitors are fundamental for maintaining a reliable operation of the electric system during peak conditions and at other times.
In this course, you will learn:
- What do capacitors do and why they are installed in the electric grid
- Capacitor types and capabilities
- How capacitors are controlled
- The modes of operation and benefits afforded by equipping capacitors with SCADA
