Abstract

See full text

A reach-measurement method is used in connection with a series-compensated line of a power system. The series-compensated line includes an installed series capacitance having a bus side and a line side, and a non-linear protection device parallel to the installed series capacitance. The series-compensated line has a line current, a bus side voltage, and a line side voltage. The series capacitance and the non-linear protection device have a capacitance voltage thereacross equal to the bus side voltage minus the line side voltage. In the method, a number (n) of line current samples are measured, where such samples are representative of values of a line current waveform at successive instants of time on the series-compensated line. Capacitance voltage values are computed based on the measured line current samples in accordance with an equation which takes into account the non-linear protection device parallel to the installed series capacitance. A prescribed power system function is then performed based on the computed capacitance voltage values.
