Application Example
Consider a lossless radial transmission line, frequency 60 Hz,
length = 350 km, and parameters z = j 0,32886 /km and bC =
j 5,097 S/km. To estimate the reactive power of shunt reactors
to be installed in the transmission line to provide a maximum
operating voltage of 1.05 pu at the open-circuited terminal
(receiving ending), when the line is energized with 1.0 pu in the
sending ending.
Solution:
> Total impedance and admittance of the non-compensated
transmission line
> Parameter A:
S CC
V2
> Operating voltage at the receiving ending of the noncompensated transmission line

> Calculation of the compensation degree of the transmission line:
In order to make possible line energization on both sides, it is
recommended to install shunt reactors with similar ratings in their
two terminations.
> The line charging of the transmission line is:
Remark:
> In the analysis above, it is not considered the on tap changer
(OLTC) operation of power transformers near to the point
of connection of the shunt reactors, which occurs in a few
minutes after the shunt reactor switching.
