Abstract:In this paper, the optimal placement and sizing of capacitors for the compensation of the reactive power and the unbalance power in medium voltage distribution networks with unbalanced loads is proposed. The proposed capacitor allocation reduces power losses in power networks caused by reactive power demand and unbalance. The powers are calculated by the IEEE STD 1459-2010, and presented real values of electrical magnitudes in unbalanced three-phase systems. The results of the capacitor placement obtained from… Show more
