Comparison between Shunt compensation and Synchronous phase modifier
Below is comparison between shunt and Synchronous phase modifier.
| Sr No. | Shunt Compensation | Synchronous Phase modifier |
| 1. | A Separate Shunt capacitor and reactor is required for voltage control | A single unit of synchronous motor is used as an inductor with under excitation and used as a capacitor with overexcited for voltage control |
| 2. | Step by step voltage regulation is possible | Smooth voltage regulation not possible |
| 3. | No starting methods are required | Starting methods required for synchronism |
| 4 | Consume reactive power only | Consume active power |
| 5 | Transient stability improves | Transient stability reduced |
| 6 | Requires less maintenance | Requires more maintenance because of rotating device |
| 7 | They have very low cost | Cost is more |
| 8 | Most practical for voltage control | Not used practically due to above disadvantages |
