ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF THE SIMULTANEOUS APPLICATION OF INCREASE BANDWITH WIRE AND REACTIVE POWER COMPENSATION IN POWER SYSTEMS

Increasing capacity of power transmission line AC is possible not only by improving the line design, but also by incorporating the various compensating devices. Reactive power compensation is also one of the most common measures to reduce energy losses in electric networks. That compensation is considered in several studies as an expert in justifying measures of efficiency improve the accuracy of calculation of losses by taking into account the temperature dependence of the wire increased throughput. Reactive power compensation, now, is an important factor which allows to solve the problem of energy saving almost any enterprise. According to the estimates of domestic and leading foreign experts, the share of energy, in particular electricity takes on the order of 30-40% of the cost of production. This is a fairly strong argument to the head seriously approach the analysis and audit of energy use and the development of techniques for reactive power compensation. Reactive power compensation - is the key to solving the issue of energy saving and increase network bandwidth.
