Modeling, shunt compensation, maximum power flow
The paper presents two methods for determining the shunt compensation at the receiving end of a two bus bar system. The effect of shunt compensation on the power that can be transferred through a long transmission line is illustrated through the use of a two bus bar system. It is shown that for a long transmission line the voltage at the receiving end is higher than at the sending end. Also the power that can be transferred through a long line is much reduced due to large voltage drops. Shunt compensation is shown to maintain a constant voltage at the receiving end, for powers up to the maximum power that can be transferred through the line.
