The energy from the capacitor banks is discharged by driving the transformers into saturation after disconnection from the grid. To investigate this, simulations were conducted in PSCAD to identify the relationship between the size of the transformer, the size of discharge resistor and the time taken for the capacitor bank to discharge.

The discharge of capacitor banks at substations is necessary before their connection to the grid can occur. This study investigates the use of delta-connected transformers for capacitor discharge.

A simple 34.5-kV per-phase system used to illustrate capacitor bank transients. 1. Energization Inrush: Energization inrush is a transient occurring when the first (or only) bank at the bus is energized. The transient is characterized by a surge of current having a high magnitude and a frequency as high as several hundred Hertz.
In contrast, if a charged capacitor bank is connected at the wrong time instant, there can be a voltage differential of up to two times the nominal system voltage [ 1 ]. This results in a much larger overvoltage risk on connection. To avoid this, capacitor banks are not connected to the system until discharging occurs.
