  "text": "Figure 5: The diagram represents boundaries of a U-Q/Pmax-profile with U being the voltage at the connection points expressed by the ratio of its actual value to its reference 1 pu value in per unit, and Q/Pmax the ratio of the reactive power to the maximum HVDC active power transmission capacity. The position, size and shape of the inner envelope are indicative and shapes other than rectangular may be used within the inner envelope. For profile shapes other than rectangular, the voltage range represents the highest and lowest voltage points in this shape. Such a profile would not give rise to the full reactive power range being available across the range of steady-state voltages.\nSynchronous Area\nMaximum range of Q/Pmax\nMaximum range of steady-state Voltage level in PU\n. . .\n. . .\n. . .\n. . .\n. . .\n. . .\nGreat Britain\n0.95\n0.225\n. . .\n. . .\n. . .\n. . .\n. . .\n. . .\nTable 6: Parameters for the Inner Envelope in the Figure.",
