Abstract :
A 330 kV AC interconnection is to be formed between Armidale in New South Wales and Tarong in Queensland. The NSW-Queensland Interconnection will have a 500 MW transfer capability into Queensland and a 1000 MW transfer capability from Queensland. As part of the interconnection project, static VAr compensators (SVCs) will manage voltage stability, transient stability and steady-state stability limitations and assist in overall voltage control on the interconnected system. This paper describes the comprehensive system and SVC model which has been developed for the Armidale SVC and the wide range of studies which have been carried out in the design of the primary plant and associated control and protection systems
