    Static Shunt Compensation

    Uploaded by

    Alisha Anjum
    Static shunt compensation can increase steady-state transmittable power and control voltage profiles by using shunt reactors to minimize overvoltage under light loads and shunt capacitors to maintain voltages under heavy loads. Midpoint shunt compensation on a transmission line divides the line into two equal segments, doubling the maximum transmittable power while exchanging only reactive power. Multiple compensators along equal segments can further double transmittable power with each additional segment, approaching an ideal constant voltage profile. End of line voltage support can effectively increase voltage stability limits and regulate terminal voltages to prevent instability.

    EEE FINAL YEAR

    EEE DEPARTMENT
    Objectives – Shunt Compensators
    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 Voltage Regulation for Line Segmentation

    • Consider simple two-machine (two-bus) transmission model in


    which an ideal var compensator is shunt connected at the
    midpoint of the transmission line.
    • Compensator is represented by a sinusoidal AC voltage source,
    in-phase with the mid-point voltage Vm
    Vm = Vs = Vr = V (amplitude identical)
    Midpoint Voltage Regulation for Line Segmentation(cont)
    ❖ Total line is divide into two segments; first segment, with an impedance of
    X/2, carries power from the sending end to the midpoint, and the second
    segment, also with an impedance of X/2 carries power from the midpoint to
    the receiving end.

    ❖ Relationship between voltages and line segment currents is shown in


    phasor diagram.
    Midpoint Voltage Regulation for Line Segmentation(cont)

    • Midpoint var compensator exchanges only reactive power with the


    transmission line in this process.
    • For the lossless system assumed, the real power is the same at each
    terminal of the line, and it can be derived readily from the phasor
    Midpoint Voltage Regulation for Line Segmentation(cont)

    Relationship between real power P, reactive power Q and angle d for the case of
    ideal shunt compensation is shown.

    It can be observed that the midpoint shunt compensation can significantly increase
    the transmittable power (doubling its maximum value) at the expense of a rapidly
    increasing reactive power demand on the midpoint compensator.
    ✔ It is also evident that for the single line system of
    two machine model, the midpoint of the
    transmission line is the best location for the
    compensator.

    ✔ This is because the voltage sag along the


    uncompensated transmission line is the largest
    at the mid point. Also, the compensation at the
    midpoint breaks the transmission line into two
    equal segments for each of which the maximum
    transmittable power is the same.
    The concept of transmission line segmentation can be expanded to
    the use of multiple compensators, located at equal segments of the
    transmission line, as shown in fig for 4 line segment.
    ❖ The transmittable power would double with each
    doubling of the segments for the same overall line
    length.

    ❖ With the increase of the number of segments, the voltage


    variation along the line would rapidly decrease,
    approaching the ideal case of constant voltage profile.

    ❖ If a passive load, consuming power ‘P’ at voltage ‘V’, is


    connected to the midpoint in place of the receiving-end
    part of the system, the sending end generator with the
    X/2 impedance and load would represent a simple radial
    system.
    • It is significant that without compensation the voltage
    at the midpoint would vary with the load (and load
    power factor).

    ❑ 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.
