Voltage Control and Reactive Support Services<br />

• Use reactive power resources to maximize active power<br />

that can be transferred through the transmission network<br />

• Some of these reactive power resources are under the<br />

control of the system operator:<br />

• Mechanically-switched capacitors and reactors<br />

• Static VAr compensators<br />

• Transformer taps<br />

• But the best reactive power resources are generators<br />

• Need to define voltage control services to specify the<br />

conditions under which the system operator can obtain<br />

and use reactive power resources<br />
