Transmission Reactive Compensation Studies

Reactive compensation is important to consider when assessing transmission system adequacy - the ability of the system to supply demand and energy requirements taking into account contingency situations. It is also important in assessing system security, or the system’s ability to withstand unexpected disturbances such as faults, large motor starting, and loss of network elements.
