Series and Shunt Compensation of Transmission Lines:
Here X C = capacitive reactance of the series capacitor bank per phase and X L is the total inductive reactance of the line/phase. In practice, X C may be so selected that the factor (X L — X C) sin Φ r becomes negative and equals (in magnitude) R cos Φ r so that ΔV becomes zero. The ratio X C /X L is called "compensation factor" and when expressed …
