Voltage and Reactive Power Control
• Synchronous generators produce both real power (P) and reactive power (Q) to the

power system.

• Q is required for loads that need magnetic field excitation like induction motors and

transformers.

• In addition, the requirements of Q in the transmission system is the difference

between the absorbed and produced Q. (I2X – V2B)

• At balance, I/V = (B/X)1/2 → Natural (surge) impedance loading (SIL) of the system.

 Load = 60 MW

• The receiving end voltage is greater than the sending end voltage.

• The impedance of the load is less than the surge impedance of the line.
 Load = 360 MW

• The receiving end voltage is greater than the sending end voltage.

• The impedance of the load is less than the surge impedance of the line.
