Minimizing power losses impact at distribution network system considering massive electric vehicle load by installing capacitor banks

As a member of the Paris Agreement, Malaysia is committed to transform the country into low-carbon society. Malaysian government is aiming to reduce the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission by 45% by year 2030 in relation to our 2005 Gross Domestic Product (GDP). As such, Malaysian government is promoting...
