Synchronous Generators
can generate or absorb Q depending on excitation
capability limited by field current, armature current,
and end-region heating limits
automatic voltage regulator continuously adjusts
excitation to control armature voltage
primary source of voltage support!
Overhead lines
at loads below natural or surge impedance load (SIL),
produce Q
at loads above SIL, absorb Q
Underground cables
have high SIL due to high capacitance
always loaded below SIL, and hence generate Q

Transformers
absorb Q due to shunt magnetizing reactance
and series leakage inductance
Loads
a typical "load bus" is composed of a large
number of devices
composite characteristics are normally such that
a load bus absorbs Q
industrial loads usually have shunt capacitors to
improve power factor

Feeder regulation
feeder regulators control the voltage of each
feeder
older units are the induction type - provide
accurate and continuous control; however, they
are costly and have been superseded by step
type regulator
step voltage regulator (SVR) is basically an
autotransformer with taps or steps in the series
winding; however, it is purely a voltage control
device and not used for voltage transformation
