Capacitor banks are installed in the electrical room to improve the power factor which is related to the inductive load caused by motors etc . The capacitors create a capacitive load which subtracts against the inductive load thereby improving the power factor. Most power utilities have penalties when your power factor drops below a certain value.

They may or may not be required for all living spaces where you live when upgrading the panel. Call your local inspector to find out.
