How many shunt capacitors will be installed in the Waikato Region?

The Waikato region will also have an additional 250 Mvar of shunt capacitors installed by 2020 to strengthen the transfer capability of the core grid into the WUNI region. This high compensation level can lead to the transient over-voltage issues described above.

Why is the Waikato & upper North Island voltage stability a problem?

Since 2012, over 1000 MW of generation capacity has been decommissioned in the Waikato and Upper North Island regions. This generation reduction coupled with the actual and expected demand growth in the Waikato and Upper North Island raises significant voltage stability risks.

What is a series capacitor?

Series capacitors reduce the electrical length of transmission circuits to obtain the desired load division among parallel circuits and/or to improve system stability. Series capacitors on the Brownhill–Whakamaru circuits have been previously modelled as part of the earlier North Island Grid Upgrade investigation.

When will shunt capacitors & SVCs be installed?

The scheme will be installed in the WUNI region with an expected commissioning date of 2022. The other modelled projects include shunt capacitors and SVCs as representation of static and dynamic reactive support component to increase voltage stability limit outside the immediate investment horizon (2023-2024).

Which distribution capacitors are explicitly modelled?

Known distribution capacitors are explicitly modelled. Distribution network – the distribution network represents the impedance of transformers and circuits in the distribution networks. They are modelled as a transformer between the grid exit point and the load.

What is a static synchronous compensator?

Transpower’s consultation document entitled Waikato and Upper North Island Voltage Management Short List Consultation June 2019. A static synchronous compensator is a device that provides fast reactive power compensation. A static var compensator is a device that provides fast reactive power compensation. Transient over-voltage.
