Abstract:With the gradual development of urban transmission system from overhead lines to power cables, more 220 kV lines need to be equipped with shunt reactors to compensate the excessive capacitive charging power of lines. Considering the current situation that there are few engineering practices related to the installation of shunt reactors in 220 kV lines in China, and the design and construction scheme lack clear experience reference and technical guidance, the engineering design principles, technical points and operation precautions of the installation of shunt reactors in 220 kV lines are introduced in detail in combination with actual engineering cases. Then, the relevant technical difficulties such as the corresponding protection configuration, the design of startup failure and release compound voltage circuit are deeply analyzed as well as the realization of remote tripping function. The corresponding solutions are put forward, which has great application significance and engineering value for guiding the design and construction of project site and promoting the safe and standardized operation of power grid.
