The document discusses two types of power system upgrades: transformer relocation/restructuring and VAr compensation. Transformer relocation involves replacing an existing transformer with a higher capacity transformer if load demand increases, or replacing it with a desired transformer size. VAr compensation refers to managing reactive power in a system through devices that do not consume or supply energy but impact the reactive power.

Transformer relocation/ restructured- Also known as Distribution
Transformer (DTR) relocation. In such cases either the transformer of lower
capacity will be replaced by a higher one or may be replaced by the desired one. For instance if the load demand is 60 kW it is feasible to put a 100 kVA transformer and not 200 kVA because the balance 100 kVA will not be used. VAr compensation- Reactive power neither consumes nor supplies energy. It is useful to visualize the impact of various devices on the reactive power of a power system as follows:
