← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when rapid capacitor bank discharges in a high-voltage direct current transmission system?
A)Oscillatory transients become drastically amplified✓
B)Systematic harmonics get heavily attenuated
C)Reactive power support gets greatly enhanced
D)Voltage stability limits are markedly increased
💡 Explanation
Amplified oscillatory transients occur via the transient recovery voltage mechanism because energy stored in system inductance discharges across capacitance creating voltage spikes; therefore, oscillatory voltage increases, rather than dampening harmonics that could be actively cancelled.
