Abstract
In this work, a real voltage collapse incident that occurred in the Chilean Interconnected System is studied. The incident is reproduced in a digital simulation environment, where the main elements involved in the process are identified. In addition, a detailed analysis on reactive compensation as t he voltage collapse phenomena evolves is also discussed. It is found that t he effectiveness of the reactive compensation is highly dependant on the ti me when this is applied to the network.
