Abstract :
Two methods are discussed for controlling line-charging kilovars and voltages on a lightly loaded 345-kv system. One method utilizes shunt reactors while the other takes advantage of underexcited capabilities of modern turbine-generators utilizing appropriate control. The conclusion, supported by experience, favors the underexcited operation in this situation
