A discussion of their effect on the overall protection used on series compensated lines. First, however, a brief review will be presented on the application and protection of series capacitors. Series capacitors are applied to negate a percentage of and hence reduce the overall inductive reac-tance of a transmission line.
The benefits of applying series capacitors on a transmission line include improved stability margins, better load division on parallel paths, ability to adjust line load levels, reduced transmission losses, and reduced voltage drop on the system during severe disturbances.
As mentioned earlier, protective equipment is applied to the series capacitor to protect it from the excessive voltages which can occur during faults. This equipment takes one of two basic forms: a parallel power gap or a metal-oxide varistor (MOV).
The compensator necessitates shorting the whole capacitor platform in case of any over-voltage (for example, group over-voltage because of fuse blowing). For a single-phase fault, capacitor bank protection system needs to bypass other two phase capacitor platforms also.
Two main types of series compensation used are fixed capacitor series compensation and controllable capacitor series compensation, each with their own advantages . Two different line configurations are used in practice according to position of the compensating device on the circuit; end-line compensation and mid-line compensation.
As for the series capacitor, it will be pro-tected once the current levels increase beyond the protective level of the bypass equipment. The presence of the transients may also excite one or more of the natural torsional frequencies of the mechanical shaft system of the generator(s).
