• Resonance phenomenon
• Sensitivity analysis

Shunt reactors are widely deployed as effective compensation means against the capacitive behavior of high voltage transmission lines. Subsequent to load rejection or light load conditions, a resonance phenomenon is highly potent due to remarkable capacitive feature of these lines. Reactor failure, threatening the interior insulation of high voltage equipment connected to the line, and early aging of insulations are some of the main concerns regarding resonance voltages. To study the phenomenon, different cases including complete disconnection of the transmission line, single and double pole operation of breakers, and short circuit faults on the de-energized line are simulated with two different knee points of reactor saturation. A sensitivity analysis is also conducted considering the soil resistivity and corona phenomenon.. Different solutions such as neutral reactors and resistors, complete transposition of the circuits, capacitor bank and replacing the ground disconnector switches with breakers are examined in the worst case to limit the resonance overvoltage. In contrast to previous contributions, it is shown that when the shunt compensation reactor is not appropriately determined, none of the solution methods alone can resolve the resonance phenomenon. Hence, an exact and carefully-selected compensation level is of great significance.
