Detta examensarbete är en inledande studie av huruvida det finns ett motiv att förändra extremspänningsautomatiken i det Svenska stamnätet. Arbetet beskriver hur inställningarna påverkar spänningsstabiliteten i ett elkraftsystem. Genom realtidssimulering med ARISTO i NORDIC32-svedala har dynamiska analyser av spänningsförlopp gjorts för sju stycken olika kopplingsstrategier. Principerna bakom dessThis master thesis is a pilot study on what impact different strategies for automatic switching of reactive shunts have on voltage stability in an electric power system.
