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
69 presents the voltage dependence at receiving bus B (as shown in figure 68) on line
loading and compensation degree K
C
, which is defined according to equation 48. The
effect of series compensation is in this particular case obvious and self explanatory.
