In a power system it is very essential to maintain the voltage within specified limitand to deliver active power through transmission lines in which reactive power plays a major role. It is also essential to retain the voltage and to deliver active power through transmission lines. This book presents a method for optimal sizing andlocation of capacitors banks in a system for improving the voltage profile and minimizing system losses. The most important part of the work is to determine the size of the capacitor to be placed at the bus. Secondly, determination of the location to capacitor in the system is another vibrant task. The calculation of power loss indices (PLI) are done after knowing the size of capacitors. Then the PLI and per unit nodal voltage are given as input to the fuzzy expert system to determine the suitability index which will decide the most suitable place for capacitor placement. Newton-Raphson method for load flow analysis is carried out to find the voltages at each node and the system losses. The overall reliability and accuracy of proposed method is validated by testing on three different IEEE test bus systems.
