Adani Electricity Mumbai Ltd has recently commissioned a 220kV Variable Shunt Reactor (VSR) at its Gorai EHV substation, the power utility said in a statement.
With this, AEML is one of the first utility in India to install a 220kV, 48-120 MVAr Variable Shunt Reactor.
The variable shunt reactor is an innovative technology equipped with tapped windings and on-load tap changer (OLTC). This enables AEML to regulate up to 100 per cent of its reactive power rating and optimize operation of the reactor, AEML said.
