   Hello, everyone and if I may be permitted to revisit my question from a   
   while back for which there was only speculation in the responses:  On   
   medium-voltage (say up to 69 kV) distribution lines, what tools do AC   
   power systems engineers use to establish/estimate the optimum location   
   for banks of shunt-connected capacitors?  I'm thinking of software   
   programs but also how this might also have been accomplished perhaps via   
   handbook tables, nomographs or other means without the benefit of   
   computers.  Sincerely,   
      
   --
