OBJECTIVES OF SHUNT
COMPENSATION
Steady-state transmittable power can be increased.
Voltage profile can be controlled.
Shunt connected reactors (fixed or mechanically
switched) are applied to minimize line over voltage
under light load conditions.
Shunt connected capacitors are applied to maintain
voltage levels under heavy load conditions.

MIDPOINT REGULATION FOR LINE

SEGMENTATION

Consider two bus transmission model with ideal

var compensator at the midpoint.

The compensator divides line into 2 parts.

MIDPOINT REGULATION FOR LINE

SEGMENTATION

Midpoint var compensator exchange only reactive

power with the line.

Real power is same at each terminal

4

MIDPOINT REGULATION FOR LINE

SEGMENTATION

The transmitted power is

The relation between P, Q and angle

MIDPOINT REGULATION FOR LINE

SEGMENTATION
Midpoint shunt compensation significantly
increase the transmittable power.
Mid point of the transmission line is the best
location for the compensator.
Voltage sag is maximum at the mid point.

END OF LINE VOLTAGE SUPPORT TO

PREVENT VOLTAGE INSTABILITY

Consider a radial Transmission line

END OF LINE VOLTAGE SUPPORT TO

PREVENT VOLTAGE INSTABILITY

END OF LINE VOLTAGE SUPPORT TO

PREVENT VOLTAGE INSTABILITY
Reactive shunt compensation can effectively
increase the voltage stability limit and regulates
the terminal voltage.
End of the line is the best location for
compensator.
