Abstract

Thus far we have considered point compensation and the correction of the voltage or current at a particular location in the network. This chapter considers the voltage profile of lines with distributed loads and the impact of real or reactive power from one or more injection points. The consideration of real power injection is due to a developing trend for distributed generation (DG) and the need to consider their impacts on the distribution system.
