for the same system, once without SC and once with series compensation. The
areas under the corresponding P – δ curves correspond to energy and the system
remains stable if the accelerating energy that the generator picks up during the fault
is lower than the decelerating energy that is transferred across the transmission line
during the first system swing upon fault clearing.

substantial increase in the stability margin is obtained by installing a series
capacitor. The series compensation can improve the situation in two ways, it can
decrease the initial angle difference δ
and it also shifts the P – δ curve upwards.
Improve reactive power balance
A series capacitor increases its output of reactive power instantaneously,
continuously and automatically with increasing line load. It is thus a self-regulating
device, which improves voltage regulation and reduces the need for other means of
voltage control for example, shunt compensation. The reactive power balance of a
series compensated line is shown in figure
