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.
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).
Typically, series capacitors are applied to compensate for 25 to 75 per-cent of the inductive reactance of the transmission line. The series capacitors are exposed to a wide range of currents as depicted in Figure 1, which can result in large voltages across the capacitors.
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 noted previously, the protection on the series capacitors will modify the voltage and current sig-nals and hence the relay performance. In the case of series capacitors protected by trigger gaps, when the capacitor voltage reaches the trigger level, the capacitor is immediately bypassed.
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).
In practice, series and shunt reactive power compensation are used. Series compensation modifies the parameters of the transmission or distribution system, while shunt compensation changes the equivalent load impedance (Dixon et al., 2005).
