With the increased loading of Syrian power system, the
problem of maintaining the voltages within the acceptable ranges
has become a major concern in power system planning and
operation.
The purpose of this research is studying Impact of Connecti
on
Shunt Capacitors as facility to improve voltage and evaluate the
voltage profile in the Syrian transmission network 230-400kV,
determine weak bus bars of voltage, as well as the generation ,the
consumption and losses of active and reactive power.
Reactive power compensation in distribution networks is one of the most important economic and
environmental issues in power system studies. In this paper the following points are investigated:
· The characteristics of the most developed equipment
used for reactive power compensation.
· Equations used in ETAP program calculation
· OCP is part of ETAP program which gives us the possibility to determine optimal reactive power
sizing and placement in distribution networks in order to achieve optimal Power loss and distribution
power system enhancement.
· ETAP program is applied on a part of Damascus suburb electrical network which was simulated by its
real parameters and the positive economical and technical results have been clarified.
