Turnkey Reactive Power Solutions
Reactive Power Compensation provides the following at all voltage levels
Voltage support and improved regulation
Increased transmission capacity
Reduced system expansion costs
Reduced kW and KVAr system losses
What to look for
At the Transmission level
Low system voltage or poor regulation
Overloaded lines or transformers
Insufficient redundancy (N-1 contingencies)
Dis-used or unreliable capacitor banks
Excessively high voltage due to line charging might need shunt reactors.
Series reactors to limit high fault levels
3. At the Distribution level:
□Low system voltage or poor regulation
□Overloaded lines/cables or transformers
□Poor system power factor
□Need to extend rural distribution lines
□Temporary VAr support – mobile units
□Dis-used or unreliable capacitor banks
□Series reactors to limit high fault levels
