Load division increases the power transfer capability of the system and reduced losses. Control of Voltage – In series capacitor, there is an automatic change in Var (reactive power) with the change in load current. Thus the drops in voltage levels due to sudden load variations are corrected instantly.
Thus with series capacitor in the circuit the voltage drop in the line is reduced and receiving end voltage on full load is improved. Series capacitors improve voltage profile. Figure 2 Phasor diagram of transmission line with series compensation. Series capacitors also improve the power transfer ability.
Series capacitors compensation may create certain disturbances: ferro-resonance in transformers, sub-synchronous resonance during motor starting, shunting of motors during normal operation and difficulty in protection of capacitors from system faults.
Due to the effect of series capacitor the receiving end voltage will be instead of VR as seen from the phasor diagram (Figure 2). Thus with series capacitor in the circuit the voltage drop in the line is reduced and receiving end voltage on full load is improved. Series capacitors improve voltage profile.
The cost of installation of series capacitors is higher than that of the shunt capacitors. This is because the protective equipment for the series capacitors is often complicated.
Disadvantages of Series Compensation: Limited effectiveness: Series compensation is most effective during heavy load conditions, when the voltage drop along the transmission line is significant. During light load conditions, shunt compensation may be more effective in improving the power factor of the system.
