| dc.description.abstract | In present situation the Jaffna Medium Voltage (MV) network is being operated in 
islanded mode. But according to the recent development plan, it is now being connected to 
the national grid and will be in operation by 2013 [1]. This interconnection requires long 
transmission line, which will introduce higher line losses, voltage flickering, transient 
stability issues such as power oscillation and some problems in black start-up [2]. This 
study investigates the black start-up operation of the interconnected power system with 
Static VAr Compensator (SVC). Simulation results presented in this paper have confirmed 
that SVC makes the interconnected system more controllable for any transient effect | en_US |
