6 FAQs about [Line Installation Capacitor Compensation]
Do series capacitors affect the overall protection used on series compensated lines?
A discussion of their effect on the overall protection used on series compensated lines. First, however, a brief review will be presented on the application and protection of series capacitors. Series capacitors are applied to negate a percentage of and hence reduce the overall inductive reac-tance of a transmission line.
How does a series Capaci-Tor increase transmission line loading?
The reduction of the series inductance of the transmission line by the addition of the series capaci-tor provides for increased line loading levels as well as increased stability margins. This is apparent by reviewing the basic power transfer equation for the simplified system shown in Figure 2. The power transfer equation is:
How much series compensation should a capacitor have?
From practical point of view, it is desirable not to exceed series compensation beyond 80%. If the line is 100% compensated, it will behave as a purely resistive element and would cause series resonance even at fundamental frequency. The location of series capacitors is decided by economical factors and severity of fault currents.
How are series capacitors installed on a transmission line?
Because series capacitors are installed in series on a transmission line, the equipment must be elevated on a platform at system voltage, fully insulated from ground . The capacitor bank together with the overvoltage protection circuits are located on this steel platform.
What are the benefits of series capacitors on a transmission line?
The benefits of applying series capacitors on a transmission line include improved stability margins, better load division on parallel paths, ability to adjust line load levels, reduced transmission losses, and reduced voltage drop on the system during severe disturbances.
