INTROUDUCTION
.
Major industrial loads
,for example,
transformers, furnaces, induction motors
etc need reactive power for sustaining
magnetic field.

Shunt compensation:
Shunt capacitors are connected in parallel
in the system and are used mainly for power
factor improvement and in harmonic filters. It
also boosts the voltage of the bus. This also
known as load compensation.

Conclusion
why capacitors are used as reactive power
compensation device?
A capacitor is said to be generator of reactive
power. When a capacitor is connected across
a load, it provides reactive power to the load.
Dielectric materials make it possible to
increase the output per unit and to reduce
losses, thus making the compensation by
means of capacitor more profitable.
