Research results The placement of capacitors resulted in improved voltage levels across the distribution network. Voltage deviations from the nominal value were significantly reduced. There was a notable reduction in active power losses (I2R losses) throughout the distribution lines.
The importance of the research lies in the importance of its topic, as Proper capacitor placement helps maintain the voltage levels within desired limits throughout the distribution network, ensuring stable and reliable power supply, and minimizes voltage drops across the distribution lines, improving the overall voltage stability of the system.
In most power applications, inductance prevails and reduces the amount of pay-load power produced by the utility company for a given size of generating equipment. The capacitor counteracts this loss of power and makes powerproduction more economical. Figure 2 – Pole-mounted capacitors.
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.

Placing capacitor further away from load circuit power pins, thus increasing the loop inductance, can lead to ground bounce noise and coupling from power planes to high-speed signal traces. Capacitor placement should be done in such way as to minimize the current path of the inductive loop.
