Ferranti Effect is one of the undesirable phenomena that happens in power systems. Fundamentally it explains the rise in receiving end voltage as compared to sending end voltage due to line capacitance and inductance for a long transmission line i.e. the transmission line with length greater than 160 km. Conceptualized by Sir S. Z. Ferranti in the year 1887, this effect explained the impact of line capacitance on receiving end voltage under no load or … [Read more...]
