"Installation of a Two 3-megavolt Ampere Reactive Capacitor Banks on a New Concrete Pad in A-Area
CX(s) Applied: B1.7

Two 3-megavolt ampere reactive (MVAR) capacitor banks are proposed for installation on a new concrete pad in A-Area, west of 751-3A and north of 751-2A. The capacitor banks will be connected to a spare breaker in 751-3A, a 13.8-kilovolt substation, and will be interfaced with the existing Savannah River Site (SRS) Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system. After shutdown of the D-Area powerhouse, the capacitor banks will function to control the power factor, a key measurement in the South Carolina Electric & Gas (SCE&G) billing algorithm for SRS. Maintaining the power factor as close as possible to the minimum required by SCE&G helps avoid SRS being assessed penalties by SCE&G that increase electricity cost. "
