Abstract

Construction of the Pacific Intertie transmission system, and other related EHV lines has included unprecedented installations of 500 kV series capacitors. Twenty series capacitor banks, totaling 4,465 mvar, and providing 70% reactance compensation, have been installed in California by Southern California Edison Company and Pacific Gas and Electric Company.
