Rating for Load Compensation With Nonstiff Source Srinivas Bhaskar Karanki‚ Nagesh Geddada‚ Student Member‚ IEEE‚ Mahesh K. Mishra‚ Senior Member‚ IEEE‚ and B. Kalyan Kumar‚ Member‚ IEEE Abstract—The distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) is used for load compensation in power distribution network. In this paper‚ a new topology for DSTATCOM applications with nonstiff source is proposed. The proposed topology enables DSTATCOM to have a reduced dc-link voltage without compromising the compensation

was acutely aware of the growing burden that demand fluctuations imposed on the cornpany’s manufacturing and distribution system. Since his appointment in 1988 as Director of Logistics‚ he had been trying to make headway on an innovative idea proposed by Brando Vitali‚ who had served as Barilla’s director of Logistics before Maggiali. The idea‚ which Vitali called Just-in-Time Distribution (JITD)‚ was modeled after the popular "JustIn-Time" manufacturing concept. In essence‚ Vitali proposed that‚

Logistics by resolving the issue of gaining control over the fluctuating demand. Barilla has a very complex distribution network including independent third party distributors and due to such a multi-echlon network‚ Barilla has been experiencing large amounts of variability in demand which are resulting in operational inefficiency and increased manufacturing‚ inventory and distribution costs. The proposed JITD system required the distributors to share their sales data with Barilla‚ who would then
