Optimal capacitor placement by using CAPO application and bus ranking methodology / Muhammad Firdaus Samidun

Transfer of electrical energy from the source of generation to the customer via the transmission and distribution networks is accompanied by losses. The majority of these losses occur on the distribution system. It is widely recognized that placement of shunt capacitors on the distribution system ca...
