Generally, AC loads are the inductive loads which are reactive in nature. These loads, thus,
demand and draw reactive power from the supply source. If these loads draw large lagging …

When the reactive power demand increases it leads to poor power factor and thus
increasing the losses more. So reducing losses as well as for improvement of power factor, a …

Power system losses and voltage stability are twin challenges utilities all over the world are
scrambling to tackle especially in places like Africa and Asia. This research is centered on …

The device described in this publication is a thyristor-switched capacitor (TSC) device used
in a 200 kV/11 kV, 200 MW grid system. In addition to the capacitor bank's transient-free …

The work presented in this article is a contribution to the problem of controlling reactive
powers and voltages in an electrical network. Among these control tools, the static reactive …

Voltage stability refers to maintaining the value of the voltage in all busses of the electric
network at a steady level (initial operating point) during any sudden disturbance. Voltage …

For all industrial and distribution sites, the lagging power factor of electrical loads is a
common problem. In the early days, it was corrected manually by adding the capacitor banks …
