Abstract

Transmission of electric power over great distances imposes very severe economical and technical limitations. Series compensation techniques are found to be very effective in overcoming such economical and technical limitations, especially transmission line compensation using series capacitors, which has gained special interest among researchers because of its cost effectiveness. This work provides two series compensation algorithms for a student and presents a user-friendly software package developed in Visual Basic for the study of transmission line series compensation.
