Question:

A 150 kV (RMS) power supply is providing 300 MW of (real) power at 60 Hz to a load with power factor cos φ = 0.8.What capacitance would you have to install in parallel with the load to restore the power factor to one? Given a large number of individual 310 μF capacitors rated to a maximum of, say, 1100 VRMS,how would you construct the needed capacitance by grouping them in parallel and in series?
