| dc.description.abstract | There are many advantages associated with adding capacitors to industrial & commercial electric systems, including reduced utility bills, greater system capacity, improved voltage regulation, and reduced losses. This paper focuses on estimating the financial benefit of the loss reduction or energy savings associated with capacitor installations, not the more frequently discussed reduction in power factor penalty. The paper discusses the principal factors involved in estimating the amount of energy savings and assessing the dollar value of these savings. A step-by-step method for estimating the savings is suggested; some tables and curves of typical equipment and system data are provided to assist with the calculation. While the fundamentals are the same for electrical suppliers (utilities) and users, this discussion emphasizes those aspects most important in industrial plants and commercial buildings. | en |
