Abstract

To maximize the efficient utilization of HVAC ( high voltage alternating current) system of power transmission in terms of power efficiency improvement, the need for installation of integrated metallic oxide varistor-electrochemical capacitor banks is essential in electrical power systems because the application of electronic converters (rectifiers, inverters, bi-directional converters) is responsible for regenerative braking currents (harmonics) continuously. Hence, the behavioral response from an external disturbance on electrical power system should be taken seriously into consideration if continuous effective power flow must be maintained under certain conditions within the integrated system. This paper presents a non-compensational and compensational (MOV-Capacitor incorporation) three-phase HVAC power transmission system, its transient effects during asymmetric faults ( line-ground, line-line) . Research on integrated metallic oxide varistor ( MOV) -series compensational (electrochemical capacitors) effect on HVAC power system was carried out showing the power flow analysis between the power generation source and the load demand containing the modelled non-series and series compensated HVAC power transmission system in response to its behavior through the application of MATLAB Simulink/Sim-scape power system tool software.
