| Summary: | Capacitor have been used for power factor correction. The benefit to improve the power factor is reduced the losses such as transformer and line losses. Power factor correction also can improved voltage profile, reduced maximum demand, and improved power quality. Thus energy efficiency is increased and the power bills of end users are reduced. Therefore in this paper, the capacitor placement and sizing using Monte Carlo technique is proposed. Monte Carlo technique allows the sizing and placement of capacitor optimally selected. Results show some capacitor sizing and placement are effective and some others are not, depending on the size of capacitor and its location in the load at distribution system. |
