Two 500 kV series capacitors came on line in Ontario, Canada in 2011 with the purpose of improving transmission capacity in a power interconnector and of meeting rising demands on power transmission within the province of Ontario. The series capacitors are equipped with a novel Fast Protective Device representing an important step forward in series capacitor protection philosophy and technology. The paper will dwell on this as well as on other salient design features of the series capacitors and also highlight their benefits for the functionality of the power system. In particular, the limiting of transient recovery voltage over existing line circuit breakers will be highlighted, as well as the impact on series capacitor design in conjunction with long, inadequately transposed overhead lines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
