What is voltage control?
Generator excitation

Which is which and what is what?
VARS are the problem and the solution for
voltage control
Transmission line losses (I2X)
Voltage drop (IX)
Local load compensation - current reduction
Response
Milliseconds to seconds
Zero to 1,000 MVARS
They do go long distances - just not very efficiently (Local
supply is best)

This simulation could not solve the case of 3,000 MW transfer with five
lines out. Numbers shown are from the model’s last attempt to solve.
The West generator’s unlimited supply of VARs is still not sufficient to
maintain the voltage at the East bus. PSERC31
