🤫Top Secret Information🤫 We are thrilled to finally disclose the mystery behind our company name. Many people have been curious about what our name signifies, and we are delighted to share this puzzle with you. Our co-founders Telman Gasanov and Aleksandr Vasilyev brainstormed the name "atvaga" by combining their initials and after experimenting with several options, they were fond of the name because it was simple enough though very elegant. Would you like to hear a longer version of our company’s story? #engineering #engineer #engineers #energy #energyefficiency #greenenergy #greenbuilding #ABD #ENV #MEP #mepdesign #mepengineering #mechanical #electrical #plumbing

Hello Connections! 🌐 In power transmission, inductive reactance in long transmission lines acts as a barrier, limiting power transfer and causing voltage drops—especially under full demand conditions. This creates significant challenges in efficiently delivering the required power across the grid. ⚡ Series compensation provides a highly effective solution by inserting capacitors in series with the transmission line, reducing the overall reactance. This allows more power to flow through the line with less voltage drop, increasing the power transfer capacity and ensuring voltage stability, even during peak demand. ⚡📈 Key Benefits of Series Compensation: 🔹 Increased Power Transfer: Reduces inductive reactance, enabling more power to flow over long distances with minimal losses. 🔹 Improved Voltage Stability: Minimizes voltage drops during high-demand periods, ensuring consistent voltage levels across the grid. 🔹 Enhanced Grid Efficiency: Decreases line losses, maximizing power delivery without major infrastructure upgrades. While series compensation is highly effective for heavily loaded systems, parallel compensation is more useful during no-load or light-load conditions, especially in short transmission lines. It helps control voltage and absorb reactive power to prevent over-voltage. ⚡ In essence, series compensation is a game-changer for high-voltage transmission systems, optimizing power transfer and improving grid stability in today’s energy networks. 🔋🔌 🚨 Want to learn more about power systems? 🚨 Join us for a FREE Webinar today at 6:45 PM IST with Selvakumar S, Business Head at Power Projects. Agenda: 🔸 Introduction to Basic Power System Concepts 🔸 Exploring Software for Power System Studies 🔸 Live Demonstration of ETAP Software 🔸 Q&A Session 👉 Don't miss out on this opportunity!
