What is it about?
The paper presents the challenges, methodological approach and possible solutions for the overvoltage issue during the winter light load periods in the Transmission System of Oman after introducing the new 400kV system. These voltage issues can lead to difficulties in synchronizing the 400kV circuits. Simulation results using DIgSILENT software are presented to define the size and location of a reactive power compensator which can resolve such overvoltage issues. Many options of the reactive power compensation, including fixed and variable means, have been studied and the best option (fixed shunt reactors) is selected.
