Shunt capacitor bank protection in UHV pilot project

The configuration and setting of shunt capacitor bank protection is very important to ensure the safety of power system and power equipment. This paper introduces the shunt capacitor banks connection and shunt capacitor banks protection configuration of the UHV pilot project from Southeast Shanxi via Nanyang in Henan province to Jinmen in Hubei province. The application principle on the configuration and setting of this 110 kV shunt capacitor banks protection is studied and discussed in detail. The principle to ensure the safety of power equipment is chiefly taken into account in order to achieve a reasonable configuration and setting.
