Abstract

This paper presents a comparison of results between inserted and non-inserted series compensation technology in the network during healthy and faulty conditions. The numerous types of fault have been examined in compensated and uncompensated conditions. It was found in the literature that the transfer of power without series compensation led to increase the transient current and voltage. Therefore, a fixed series compensation scheme is adopted in normal and faulty conditions of the transmission line to solve the problem mentioned above using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Also, this paper introduces the addition of two compensated units associated with a suitable protection system in a transmission line. This technique can improve the performance of 500 kV extra high voltage transmission line and mitigate the fault current magnitude during various type of faults such as phase to ground (Ph-G), double phase to ground (2Ph-G), three phase to ground (3Ph-G). In addition, concerning the overvoltage problems across a series capacitor bank during the disturbance, the system is boosted by a protection technique associated with a suitable control system. The design is inserted into the system to protect the series capacitor bank, which in turn overcomes the severity of overvoltage on several types of faulty conditions. It also simulated and evaluated with the help of MATLAB/SIMULINK.
