Answer: C. The Series Reactance can be reduced
Explanation:
Series capacitors:
- Series capacitors are used to compensate the inductance of the transmission line.
- They will increase the transmission capacity and the stability of the line.
- These are also used to share the load between parallel lines.
- Series capacitor is used in a transmission line to compensate the voltage Drop.
- In series compensation, the FACTS is connected in series with the power system.
- It works as a controllable voltage source.
- Series inductance occurs in long transmission lines, and when a large current flows this causes a large voltage drop.
- To compensate, series capacitors are connected, decreasing the effect of the inductance.
