Series Compensation
Series compensation is basically a powerful tool
to improve the performance of EHV lines. It
consists of capacitors connected in series with
the line at suitable locations.
Advantages of Series Compensation
1. Increase in transmission capacity
– The power transfer capacity of a line is given by

Suppose Cse is the series capacitance per unit length for series compensation.
Therefore total series reactance will be
j j j L
j L ' = j L − = j L − .

where γse is known as degree of series compensation. Therefore, virtual

Z C' = = Z C (1 − se )

Degree of shunt compensation
We know that the surge impedance

ZC = = = xL xL

Suppose shunt inductance Lsh per unit length is used for shunt compensation.
Therefore the net shunt susceptance will be

j C ' = j C + = j C − .

where γsh is known as degree of shunt compensation. Therefore, virtual

• Considering both series and shunt compensation
simultaneously:
j L ' 1 − se
Z C' = = Zc

PC' = Pc / 1 − se
1.2 PC = PC / 1 − se
se = 0.306 pu
• Now, assuming shunt compensation to be zero, the series
compensation required corresponding to 1.2 PC :
PC' = Pc 1 − sh
1.2 PC = PC 1 − sh
sh = −0.44 pu
