Proper placement of capacitors for losses reduction on distribution primary feeders

Conference · · Proc. Am. Power Conf.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5459843
The authors wish to optimally size and locate ''n'' shunt capacitors on a three-phase distribution primary feeder so as to maximize the net savings from peak power and energy loss reductions. It is to be noted that voltage regulation problems are not considered here. 15 refs.
