Abstract
Systems and methods to control a capacitor bank based on the power flow direction are described herein. For example, a capacitor bank controller (CBC) may determine a power flow direction based on one or more current measurements and one or more voltage measurements. The CBC may control the capacitor bank using a first quantity when the power flow direction is in a first direction. The CBC may control the capacitor bank using a second quantity when the power flow direction is in a second direction. The second quantity may be different from the first quantity to account for the relationship between sensors of the CBC with respect to the capacitor bank on the power line.
