Using capacitors to supply reactive power reduces the amount of current in the line. Since line losses are a function of the current squared,I2R, reducing reactive power flow on lines significantly reduces losses. Engineers widely use the “2/3 rule” for sizing and placing capacitors to optimally reduce losses.
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.
Voltage deviations from the nominal value were significantly reduced. There was a notable reduction in active power losses (I2R losses) throughout the distribution lines. The optimized capacitor placement minimized the current flow, thereby reducing resistive losses.
In the first study, optimal capacitor placement took precedence, resulting in a significant reduction in network losses by 326 kW, an improved voltage profile within the acceptable range of 0.9 pu to 1.1 pu, and a reduction in THD. However, the maximum IHD remained unsatisfied at 9.46% on bus 25 at the fifth harmonic.
