When generation kicks on, it can cause system voltage to rise, fall, or stay the same. Capacitors banks are used to help boost system voltage. Inductor banks are used to pull system voltage down.
In many situations, capacitor banks may be required to kick ON when generation kicks on - some wind turbines "suck in VARS", or act like inductors while pushing out power. This causes system voltage to sink, and must be counteracted using capacitors.
In your situation the distributed generation may be causing unacceptable voltage increases with the capacitor bank online.

Purpose of capacitor bank on a sub-station electrical room?
The primary reason for a capacitor bank in an electrical substation is for power factor correction. There may also be some secondary purpose for the capacitor bank but the primary reason is power factor correction.

Why capacitor bank not connected across Diesel generator power supply?
I dont know.... may be due to save money
Sir iam a working engineeri have come to a peculier problem the capacitor bank was installed at a sub-stationwhen capacitor bank is switched on the power factor becomes more lagging?
It's not peculiar. That's a property of capacitors.

How make manten powar factor in capistor bank daigram?
To maintain power factor in a capacitor bank diagram, first calculate the desired power factor for the system and determine the reactive power (kVAR) needed to correct it. Next, select capacitors that provide the required reactive power and integrate them into the electrical system, typically in parallel with the load. The capacitor bank should be sized appropriately based on the load's characteristics and the existing power factor. Finally, ensure proper protection and control mechanisms are in place to manage the capacitor bank's operation effectively.
Why capacitor bank using reeactor?
Series reactors may be used in switching in capacitor banks. These are used to minimize the transient voltage spikes on the system resulting from switching in a capacitor bank.
How do you calculate Kwh saving after installing capacitor bank?
Adding a capacitor bank makes absolutely no difference whatsoever to the amount of energy consumed (in kilowatt hours). The capacitor bank might reduce the load current, but this does not affect the amount of energy consumed. Anyone who tries to sell you a 'capacitor bank' in order to save you energy is selling a SCAM!

How many current drawn in 400 kvar capacitor bank?
It depends upon at how much voltage level 400 kvar capacitor bank is used.
What size breaker do you need to install a capacitor bank?
The size of the breaker needed for a capacitor bank typically depends on the total capacitance and the system voltage. As a general rule, the breaker should be rated to handle the inrush current during capacitor energization, which can be significantly higher than the steady-state current. It's advisable to consult the manufacturer's specifications for the capacitor bank and adhere to local electrical codes, ensuring that the breaker is also rated for the specific application and environment. A common practice is to select a breaker rated at 125% of the maximum continuous current expected from the bank.
How does a plug in PFC differ from a capacitor bank?
It doesn't ?
How can be determined the rating of capacitor bank?
If you are talking about a capacitor bank used for power-factor improvement, then it is rated in reactive volt amperes (var). Otherwise, it is rated in farads (F).
What is the correct cable size for the 550 KVAR capacitor bank?
Cable sizing is based on amperage of the load. The rating of the capacitor bank and the voltage at which it operated need to be stated to give an answer.
