This study presents a simulation approach using MATLAB to model the Ferranti effect in Algerian power networks. The Ferranti effect, a phenomenon observed in long transmission lines, results in voltage rise at the receiving end due to capacitive coupling. Understanding and mitigating this effect are crucial for maintaining the stability and efficiency of power systems. By employing MATLAB simulations, various scenarios of Algerian power networks are analyzed to assess the impact of the Ferranti effect on voltage levels and system performance. The study provides insights into effective mitigation strategies to address voltage rise issues caused by the Ferranti effect, contributing to the optimization of power system operations in Algeria.
