Yes "decoupling" and "bypass" capacitors are the same thing. Ideally the power supply to a chip would have a zero impedance at all frequencies. If the power supply has a finite impedance it will act as an unwanted coupling path. The higher the impedance the stronger this unwanted coupling path. The unwanted coupling path can have various effects.

Learn MoreThe capacitor can reduce electric bill only for industrial and big commercial consumers, and not for residential consumers nor for small commercial consumers as the utility company charges each consumer type differently. How Do Power Saving Capacitors Work for Some Consumers?
A pure capacitor with no resistance will cause the current wave to lead the voltage wave by exactly 90 degrees. A pure inductance with no resistance will cause the current wave to lag the voltage wave by exactly 90 degrees. But in actuality, inductors have some resistance and a small amount of capacitance.
Capacitors offer a means of improving system power factor and helping to correct the above conditions by reducing the reactive kilovar load carried by the utility system. For optimum performance and avoidance of these undesirable conditions, prudent utility planners attempt to maintain as high a power factor as economically practical.
If the capacitor unit contains Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), extra care is required to clear the failed unit before tank rupture and an expensive cleanup of the affected area as is required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
If you are a residential customer, and your meter reads only active power/energy (kWh), then you should not worry about installing a capacitor as you don't get charged for the reactive power that the capacitor can help in producing.
This type of operation provides better utilization of existing investment in equipment and may make possible the deferral of costly system improvements. To see how a capacitor affects a power system, look first at the sine-wave-shaped instantaneous voltage wave generated by a rotating generator.
