T.G substation will be the largest substation os system 1, being located at a section in Rio de Janeiro city. It will have 4800 MVA in his final stage, with four 600 MVA 500KV/138KV/13,8KV transformers banks, two 500KV incoming transmission lines from A.D. substation (system 2), two 500 KV lines to other system 1 substation and twenty one 138 KV lines to system 1 substations. Due to space problems, the 500 KV and 138 KV swtchgear will be of SF6 type. The substation will be energized in october, 1976 and due to systemconfiguration and demonstrated by load flow studies, it will be necessary to instal VAR control at T.G. to minimize the transmission system VAR requirements. These requirements of system 1 are sensitive to load representation. The assumption of. 98 power factor loads maker considerable difference to the synchronous condenser rating at T.G. One of the goals of this work, is to show that between 1976 and 1980, synchronous condensers are not necessary, its role being performed by tap changers installed in the T.G. transformers. After 1980 the instalation of two synchronous condensers of 200 MVar at the T.G. transformers tertiary will be necessary. It is important to realize that 80% to 100% of condensers capacity is use to supply the transmission system. The use of transformers with lower impedances will be important to minimize VAR losses at transformers, but will increase three phase short circuit level at 138 KV and the tertiary systems. With synchronous condensers installation it will be possible to control system voltage and system 1 should be relatively independent from VAR control althoug the cost of supplyng VAR`s to the incoming transmission networks.
