Implementation of thyristor controlled series capacitor in transmission system to improve the performance of power system network

The placement of Thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) reduces transmission losses, increases the available capacity, and improves the voltage profile. This paper presents the implementation of the thyristor switched series capacitor in the transmission network of the power system. The TCSC has been installed in series with the two parts of the transmission line. The performance of the system in the presence of TCSC has been studied with the various types of power system disturbances such as variation in the voltage amplitude, switching on and off of the load, outage and grid synchronization of the generator has been created and the parameters such as voltage, power flow and impedance. The results are validated using a test system incorporated with the TCSC in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. These results show the effectiveness of the proposed TCSC.
