How do I figure out how much power a capacitor bank will but out?

Like in Volts and Amps what are the formulas involved thanks +11 points to the first correct answer.
Thanks man
Umm guys can you include what the variables are I am really new to this XD

   the energy which can be saved in a capacitors:

   w=1/2*c*v^2
   where c:capacitance of a capacitor in farad
   v:voltage
   and the power is: p=w/t

   Energy in a cap in Joules
   E = ½CV² = ½QV

   E is energy in joules
   C is capacitance in farads
   V is voltage in volts
   Q is charge in coulombs

   Capacitor banks don’t put out power.

   Capacitor banks are sources of REACTIVE power. Capacitors are typically rated in volt-amperes-reactive, or VARS.

   Voltage is determined by the system in which the capacitor bank is applied.

   The current in a three-phase capacitor bank

   I = Capacitor KVAR / (Voltage in kV X 1. 732)
