Use of controlled shunt reactors in high voltage transmission network of Mongolian power system

The authors describe how the use of controlled shunt reactors in Mongolia could have a number of advantages: availability to reduce power and energy losses to a minimum; reduce voltage oscillations on substations and provide better quality electricity to customers; and improve power system stability and operation of automatic accessories etc. Using EDSA software, the authors have calculated the state condition of Mongolia´s Central Energy system using data measured during the winter maximum demand period. Results of calculation were compared with results of measurements to check the authenticity of this calculation. A final conclusion shows that use of controlled shunt reactors in the Mongolian power system is technically and economically efficient
