Reactive power is a basic requirement for maintaining system voltage stability. Voltage collapse is associated with reactive power demands not being met because of limitations on the production and transmission of reactive power.

1 Introduction. The increase of non-linear loads due to the proliferation of power electronic devices and inductive loads in a three-phase four-wire (3P4W) distribution system results in power quality issues such as current harmonics, poor voltage regulation, load unbalancing and excessive neutral current, which are extensively reported in the literature [1 – 3].

This discharge may cause a rupture of the failed unit with possible damage to the rest of the bank. To prevent it, the maximum reactive power of one series section should not be higher than 4,650 kvar at a rated voltage and 60 Hz frequency. Refer to IEEE Std. C37.99-1990 “IEEE Guide for Protection of Shunt Capacitor Banks 1.
The capacitive reactive power is generated through the capacitance producing devices serially or shunt connected to a load , , . A significant amount of studies was devoted to the methods to produce reactive power, such as DSTATCOMs , , , STATCOM , , , and real electrical capacitors .
Hence, it is recommended to apply capacitive reactive power for a short period of ~40 to 120 s. This period is enough for the tap-changers to correct the transformation ratio. The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have influenced the work reported in this paper.
There was a notable reduction in active power losses (I2R losses) throughout the distribution lines. The optimized capacitor placement minimized the current flow, thereby reducing resistive losses. Capacitors provided local reactive power support, reducing the amount of reactive power that needed to be transmitted over long distances.
