Abstract

As modern equipment is more sensitive to power quality phenomena, transients introduced by capacitor switching become an increasing concern. The paper addresses the identification of switched capacitor position such that on-line or post-fault measures can be taken. The position is given in terms of proportional line impedance seen from the load bus. Perturbation methods are used to find an asymptotic expression for capacitor position as a function of the transient frequency. This paper presents analytical and simulation results for a standard radial distribution system
