Simulation of Reactive Power Imbalances in the Transmission Power Grid Threatened by the Problem of Voltage Instability
Main Article Content
Abstract
The reactive power balance in the transmission power grid depends on the reactive power produced by the power stations and the value generated by the capacitive power lines and static compensators. Reactive transmission losses become greater than shunt capacitive generation at the turning-point of voltage stability. Then lowering bus voltages drive EPS into voltage collapse point. The paper presents the balance of reactive power depending on the power demand growth, which is then used to estimate the operating point of the transmission network, in which the reactive power transmission losses are greater than the total reactive power generated by the shunt capacity.
