Abstract:
From the first installation to the present, shunt reactors have formed an important component of the AC power transmission system and is used to compensate for the capacitive reactance of transmission lines and cables. This capacitance produces VAR result in high voltages. So, the main task of shunt compensation is voltage regulation.
This presentation will focus on the protection planning aspects of these installations, and the role protection takes in assuring the specified performance of these important elements in the power system. With new intelligent devices and telecommunication media (digital microwave and fibre optic cables), the protective schemes for the shunt reactors make the power system more reliable and costly effective.
