OBJECTIVES OF SHUNT
COMPENSATION
Steady-state transmittable power can be increased.
Voltage profile can be controlled.
Shunt connected reactors (fixed or mechanically
switched) are applied to minimize line over voltage
under light load conditions.
Shunt connected capacitors are applied to maintain
voltage levels under heavy load conditions.
MIDPOINT REGULATION FOR LINE
SEGMENTATION
Consider two bus transmission model with ideal
var compensator at the midpoint.
The compensator divides line into 2 parts.

MIDPOINT REGULATION FOR LINE
SEGMENTATION
Midpoint var compensator exchange only reactive
power with the line.
Real power is same at each terminal

MIDPOINT REGULATION FOR LINE
SEGMENTATION
The transmitted power is
The relation between P, Q and angle
MIDPOINT REGULATION FOR LINE
SEGMENTATION
Midpoint shunt compensation significantly
increase the transmittable power.
Mid point of the transmission line is the best
location for the compensator.
Voltage sag is maximum at the mid point.

Reactive shunt compensation can effectively
increase the voltage stability limit and regulates
the terminal voltage.
End of the line is the best location for
compensator.
