Design and implementation of a thyristor controlled series capacitor for research laboratory application.
(2003)The power transfer capability of a transmission line is determined by the magnitude of the voltage at each end of the line, angle difference of these voltages and the impedance of the line. This impedance is mainly inductive. ... -
Evaluation of overcurrent protection performance and application on the Eskom shunt capacitors during system disturbances.
(2009)This dissertation report began as an investigation into an overcurrent relay protection operation on a shunt capacitor bank (SCB) at ESKOM’s Westgate substation. Westgate substation has two SCBs, both of which were in ... -
Optimal placement of shunt capacitor banks on a sub-transmission network.
(2009)The optimal capacitor placement problem is the determination of the optimal location of the shunt capacitors on the sub-transmission networks such that energy losses are minimised, the power factor and the network voltage ...
