Abstract:
1. A power distribution system, comprising: a feeder; at least one capacitor bank selectively connected to the feeder and a capacitor bank controller, the capacitor bank controller controlling a switch for selectively connecting the at least one capacitor bank to the feeder; a transformer for delivering power to the power distribution system through the feeder, the transformer converting one of a transmission and a sub-transmission voltage into a distribution voltage; at least one voltage regulating device connected to a voltage regulating device controller; and a controller in communication with the capacitor bank controller, the at least one voltage regulating device controller and the transformer, the controller selectively switching the at least one capacitor bank to adjust voltage on the feeder, the controller selectively controlling a source voltage through the at least one voltage regulating device, the controller including:
