Increase in power transfer

The increase in power transfer capability as a function of the degree of compensation
for a transmission line can be explained by studying the circuit shown in figure 108.
The power transfer on the transmission line is given by the equation 107:

The effect on the power transfer when considering a constant angle difference (δ)
between the line ends is illustrated in figure 109. Practical compensation degree runs
from 20 to 70 percent. Transmission capability increases of more than two times can
be obtained in practice.

Voltage and current inversion
Series capacitors influence the magnitude and the direction of fault currents in series
compensated networks. They consequently influence phase angles of voltages
measured in different points of series compensated networks and this performances of
