Switching transients are one of the major causes of excessive stresses on the power system equipment, switching apparatus and also create power quality issues along with mal-operation of protective relays. Shunt reactor switching (SRS) is performed to mitigate the Ferranti Effect at off peak hours & if done in an uncontrolled way may have severe co...

... The role of shunt reactors (SR) at the beginning of a single-circuit line in limiting switching overvoltages and their switch-on and switch-off algorithms were examined in detail [2]. Studies have shown that SRs limit the switching overvoltages [3][4][5][6]. However, as previously mentioned, the role of shunt compensation reactors in high voltage and extra high voltage power grid (HV/EHV) alternating current (AC) multi-circuit lines over long distances has not been adequately studied despite the ever-evolving nature of the power sector, increasing energy demand and the need to meet that demand in a timely manner. ...
The nature of the transient process and the magnitude of the overvoltages are determined by a large number of factors in the HV/EHV AC transmission networks. The paper presents the study of mathematical modelling of electromagnetic wave processes in long-distance electric transmission line (ETL). The mathematical model is based on electromagnetic processes occurring on distributed parameter lines that are characterized by specific derivatives of the system of differential equations. The application of a spline-interpolation technique enables the calculation of currents and voltages at the nodes of the scheme, which obtains the unknown coordinates of the overhead line mode at the beginning of the ETL to solve the transmission line equation. The following results are derived from computer simulations of transients during switching on. With a simulation model, the importance of intelligent control of shunt reactor (SR) and ungrounded reactor (UR) was demonstrated and considered for a 500 kV power networks.
