The average load of a dairy plant at 11 kV, 50 Hz is 950 kW at 80 percent power factor but the maximum contract load of plant is 1200 kW. As per local electricity regulating authorities norms, consumer must keep the power factor of 95 percent to avoid any poor power factor penalty. Determine the following (i) Rating of capacitor bank (in kVAr) (ii) The capacitance of the capacitor bank (in micro Farad) (iii) Explain why the power factor becomes low and how the capacitor bank will assists to improve the power factor?

Which one is correct? A variable capacitor bank may be required to improve power factor, depending on the load. Power factor correction always results in a power factor greater than 0.9. Power factor correction has an impact on active power flow on the system .(i.e. MW value) A capacitor bank is always going to improve the power factor.
