Thyristor Controller Series Capacitor test system
This demo models a Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor placed on a 500kV, long transmission line, to improve power transfer. The TCSC consists of a fixed capacitor and a parallel Thyristor Controlled Reactor (TCR) in each phase. When the TCSC is bypassed, the power transfer is around 110MW. The test system is as described in [60].
The effects of operating the TCSC in capacitive, inductive or manual alpha modes can be analyzed. The effects of varying the reference impedance on the power transfer can also be viewed. In the capacitive mode the range for impedance can be varied from 120 to 136 Ohm. This range corresponds to approximately 490 to 830MW power transfer range (100%-110% compensation). When compared with the power transfer possible of 110 MW with an uncompensated line, the TCSC enables significant improvement in power transfer level. In the inductive and alpha modes the range for impedance can be varied from 19 to 60 Ohm to see that the power transfer ranges varies from 100 to 85 MW.
