Thyristor Control Series Capacitor

Thyristor-Controlled Series Compensation (TCSC) is used in power systems to dynamically control the reactance of a transmission line in order to provide enough load compensation. Here the hardware of the Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) is proposed. TCSC is design to operate in the same way as Fixed Series Compensation, but provide variable control of the reactance absorbed by the capacitor device. From the TCSC parameters the possible modes of operation of TCSC are simulated & potential open loop control schemes will be simulated.
