Abstract

The present work presents a proposal to standardize the capacity of shunt power reactors used to compensate the majority of the 400 kV transmission lines in the transmission grid of Mexico. This work is based on an analysis of the power reactor ratings that historically has been used in Mexico´s transmission grid, the physical and electrical characteristics of the transmission towers where power reactors are installed, as well as the limits of the maximum ovelvoltages for maintaining a secure and reliable operation of the transmission system.
