Option 1 : Improvement of system stability

Series Compensation:

  • It is the method of improving the system voltage by connecting a capacitor in series with the transmission line.
  • In series compensation, reactive power is inserted in series with the transmission line for improving the impedance of the system.
  • It improves the power transfer capability of the line. It is mostly used in extra and ultra-high voltage lines.
     

Advantages of Series compensation in EHV Transmission System:

  • Increase in power transfer capability
  • Improvement in system stability
  • Load division among parallel line
  • Control of voltage
  • Lower the voltage drop
