The Reactive power management play an important role in voltage profile of the distribution system. Adequate reactive power control solves power quality problems like flat voltage profile maintenance at all power distribution levels, improvement in power factor, distribution system efficiency and system stability. The Series and Shunt Capacitor compensation techniques are used to modify the natural electrical characteristics of the electric power system. Providing reactive shunt compensation with shunt-connected capacitors and reactors in optimal location is a well-established technique to get a better voltage profile in a distribution system. This paper presents performance analysis of shunt capacitors to improve the voltage profile and to reduce the losses. To demonstrate the reactive power compensation, a case study of 33 bus system is considered. The performance analysis of the change in voltage and reactive power with shunt compensation at the load side is done using the Power World Simulator software package. The outcome of this work helps in design and operational reactive power planning for the voltage and reactive power management.
