Installation of Compensators in the Power System Transmission Grid

Main Article Content

Ryszard Zajczyk, Robert Kowalak, Artur Zbroński

Abstract







The article discusses issues of reactive power compensation in transmission grids, with particular focus on the selection of compensator locations and basic parameters. Attention was focused on modern power electronics systems that ensure full automatic compensator adjustment to voltage or power criteria.
