Automation and SCADA system for reactive compensation in a motor control center

This paper describes the main problems that arise in a Motor Control Center by the unregulated consumption of electricity due to increased drilling oil wells and the need to treat the resulting water. The implemented solution is a reactive compensation system with automatic control of capacitor banks whose electrical variables such as active power, reactive power and average power factor are monitored through a SCADA system. This system is responsible for displaying electrical measurements, operational control and the states of the different teams as motor-pump and valves, the above in order to minimize costs in the payment of bills.
