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.
