Abstract :
The benefits that can be obtained by the use of shunt capacitors in electric power systems have been discussed many times in the technical literature. Their ability to improve voltage and power factor in the distribution areas, thereby reducing losses and postponing the need for additional circuit capacity by reducing loading on existing equipment, has been used many times where the economics have justified such use.
