REDUCTION OF REACTIVE POWER LOSSES IN THE RADIAL DISTRIBUTION LINES AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH HARMONICS

The objective of this Final Year Project is to design and implement the real world
problem as part of the preparation towardsthe future workingexperience in a specific
area of Electrical Engineering field. Besides, this project is a requirement for the
undergraduate students in order to complete their studies. The topic chosen for this
project is "Reduction of Reactive Power Losses in the Radial Distribution Lines and
its Relationship with Harmonics". The introduction part will elaborate the
fundamental term and terminology of the topic. The project objective is to investigate
the effectiveness of inserting capacitors to rectify the problem. Brief descriptions of
the theory used are covered in the literature review. This report also states the
methodology used during this project. The last part is the conclusion which describe
the student's expectation from this project
