The smooth flow of apparent power in power networks requires adequate reactive power
support. Generators are the main supporting units to meet the reactive power of the national …

Load growth and seasonal variations in loading pattern are two key factors for the poor
voltage profile in power distribution utilities (DISCOM). Shunt capacitor banks are the most …

This chapter presents a thorough comparative analysis of the state‐of‐the‐art of addressing
all the technical as well as non‐technical problems relevant to distribution system utility. The …

In the open access regime, the power distribution utilities are free to procure cheap power
from anywhere available on the national grid. The increasing share of cheap power from …

Reactive power management plays vital roles in power transmission system as it affects the
power system status. Variations in load in a power system network can possibly lead to …
