drop is lower and at the same time, the voltage drop on the series capacitor is lower.
When the loading increases and the voltage drop become larger, the contribution of
the series capacitor increases and therefore the system voltage at the receiving line end
can be regulated.
Series compensation also extends the region of voltage stability by reducing the
reactance of the line and consequently the SC is valuable for prevention of voltage
collapse. Figure
107 presents the voltage dependence at receiving bus B (as shown in
figure 106) on line loading and compensation degree K
C
, which is defined according
to equation 105. The effect of series compensation is in this particular case obvious
and self explanatory.
