Abstract:
To reduce the voltage drop and also to increase power tranfer capacity of the long power transmission lines series capacitors are used. In this thesis the effects of series compensation, from fault level and protection points of view, are investigated and fault analysis is done on the example system of fwo identical long transmission lines transferring electrical energy from Keban Hydro-electric Generating Station to the rest of the grid at Gölbaşı Station (Ankara).I Based on the results of calculations, suggestions are made for the optimal placement of series capacitors along the transmission lines.
