{"product_id":"optimal-capacitor-placement-in-radial-sirjani-reza-9783659310744","title":"Optimal Capacitor Placement in Radial Distribution Networks","description":"Shunt capacitors are widely used in distribution systems to reduce power losses, improve voltage profile and increase system capacity. The benefits of compensation depend greatly on the placement and size of the added capacitors. In this book, the heuristic optimization techniques are used together with the backward\/forward sweep power flow method and radial harmonic power flow for determining the optimal placement and sizing of capacitors in radial distribution networks for minimizing the power loss and total cost by considering mutual coupling, load unbalancing and harmonics. To implement the developed algorithms, the backward\/forward sweep power flow and radial harmonic power flow methods in an open source environment, a Matlab based software tool named as Optimal Placement of Shunt Var Compensators has been developed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sirjani Reza,Mohamed Azah,Shareef Hussain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3659310743\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783659310744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LAP Lambert Academic Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.31d","brand":"Sirjani Reza","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47424610337023,"sku":"9783659310744","price":63.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e0b167c3-f212-402b-8582-223f6d7cf838.jpg?v=1761531372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/optimal-capacitor-placement-in-radial-sirjani-reza-9783659310744","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
