However, each capacitor in the parallel network may store a different charge. To find the equivalent capacitance (C_p) of the parallel network, we note that the total charge Q stored by the network is the sum of all the individual charges: [Q = Q_1 + Q_2 + Q_3.]
This reactive power is provided by the capacitor bank installed parallel to the load. Capacitor banks act as a source of local reactive power and thus less reactive power flow through the line. By using a capacitor bank, the power factor can be …
