Abstract

Shunt power capacitors are essential to system operation and reliability as a critical reactive power source to increase system capacity, support voltage magnitude, improve power quality, and reduce reactive current flow. To mitigate capbank switching transients, the synchronous switching with preinsertion resistor technology is developed and used at an extra-high voltage transmission system. In this paper, the coupling relationship between several key factors that contribute to switching transients is studied. Optimization solutions are developed to improve the switching process. Field operations with an updated setting are compared with original setting records to prove the correctness of the study.
