Management of reactive power on a radial MV network by using an expert system

Modulated power factor correction in medium-voltage distribution lines by means of static capacitors involves shunting and providing for a growing number of possible network load conditions, as well as decentralizing control of voltage variations on the network and guaranteeing each battery/controller group certain autonomy by using PLCs. By way of example, simulations have been run on different types of networks and with different load situations.
