4.7 Optimal Control Operation

In the optimal control
disconnection is selectively performed
for one capacitor circuit with the most
appropriate capacity that will keep the
lagging reactive power within the
target power factor.

In the connection

decrease capacity until the power
factor becomes the closest to the
target power factor and the lag is
minimized at the same time.
Capacitors are cut off sequentially in
order to decrease capacity until the
power factor becomes the closest to
the target power factor but it is never
below the target power factor.
The optimal control is suitable for
controlling the different - capacity
capacitor groups in the circuit where load
fluctuation is frequent. But since the
switching of vacuum electromagnetic
contactors become frequent and not

the maintenance and inspections
must be performed frequently and each
contactor must be replaced at the end of
their respective lifetime.
