Capacitor banks are widely used in power systems to reduce power losses, compensate reactive power, improve voltage profile, increase system capacity, and correct power factor. Capacitor placement can be beneficial only when it correctly applied. Correct application means choosing the correct position and size of the reactive power support.
Research results The placement of capacitors resulted in improved voltage levels across the distribution network. Voltage deviations from the nominal value were significantly reduced. There was a notable reduction in active power losses (I2R losses) throughout the distribution lines.
For compensating reactive power, shunt capacitors are often installed in electrical distribution networks. Consequently, in such systems, power loss reduces, voltage profile improves and feeder capacity releases. However, finding optimal size and location of capacitors in distribution networks is a complex combinatorial optimisation problem.
Distribution systems commonly face issues such as high power losses and poor voltage profiles, primarily due to low power factors resulting in increased current and additional active power losses. This article focuses on assessing the static effects of capacitor bank integration in distribution systems.
The optimal capacitor placement is defined by determination of the number, location, type and size of the capacitors installed in the radial distribution network. In such problem, different objective functions may be defined.
The importance of the research lies in the importance of its topic, as Proper capacitor placement helps maintain the voltage levels within desired limits throughout the distribution network, ensuring stable and reliable power supply, and minimizes voltage drops across the distribution lines, improving the overall voltage stability of the system.
Shunt capacitors reduce the induced current in the electrical circuit. Reducing the line current reduces the IR and IX voltage drops and improves the system voltage level from the capacitor to the source. In both distribution and transmission systems, it is necessary to maintain the voltage between 0.95-1.05 units.
