a capacitor bank is used usually to improve the power factor and to avoid people to pay penalties to the government because of grid harmful inductive affecting. Capacitor banks can be used also to improve voltage regulation and decrease voltage drop... We usually set the power factor to 90% and above but not to 100% since the load is usually inductive

Advantages of Power Factor Improvement The benefits that can be achieved by applying the correct power factor correction are: a) Reduction of power consumption due to improved energy efficiency. Reduced power consumption means less greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel depletion by power stations. b) Reduction of electricity bills c) Extra kVA available from the existing supply d) Reduction of I2R losses in transformers and distribution equipment e) Reduction of voltage drops in long cables. f) Reduced electrical burden on cables and electrical components.

Yes obviously 'power utilization' can be increased. There are three kind of powers, we know, actual power, active power, and reactive power. With the decrease of 'power factor', actual power (utilization power) decreases while reactive increases. So we have to add on KVAR (reactive power) in system to improve power factor and increase actual power. This actual power is, in fact, utilization power. So summarizing, we can say that by adding capacitor bank we can improve power factor and ultimately 'utilization power'

PrincipleThe capacitor bank is connected to the busbars of the main LV distribution board for the installation, and remains in service during the period of normal load.

AdvantagesThe global type of compensation:

  • Reduces the tariff penalties for excessive consumption of kvars
  • Reduces the apparent power kVA demand, on which standing charges are usually based
  • Relieves the supply transformer, which is then able to accept more load if necessary

Yes! by improving the power factor.

Yes . capacitor bank is the most impotent thing in electrical. We install it with LV bus bar and operate the panel with manual and auto .For the Auto operation of capacitor bank panel must check the direction of ct with give the  signal to the really. Capacitor bank improve the voltage and reused the ampere .so it is very use full for our electric cables and electric equipment. it is mostly use their .where we use  induction load. 

KVAR = KW/2

it is a simple formula to find out the capacitor bank range

we can add capacitor bank to improve power factor for boost and  efficient  use of real power and to compensation of reactive power.

yes it can be improved as it improves the power factor cosphi and capacitor bank will help to stabilizes the power output when it has more inductive load.

yes, we can install capacitor bank for improving outputpower utilization by decreasing of reactive power

Significantly by improving the power factor to a value that approaches 1. How it does that is by eleminating the reactive effect of the dynamic devices/appliances connected to the said network.
