Basic Concept
Its shunt connected thyristor switched linear resistor.
The best location for a TCBR is near a generator that
would need braking during transient instability conditions.
Transformer tertiary at or near the generator bus would be
desirable.
Functions of TCBR
Prevent transient instability during the first power system
swing cycle, by immediately taking away the power that
would otherwise be used in accelerating the generator.
Enhance damping to prevent dynamic instability involving
low frequency oscillations between interconnected ac
systems.
Facilitate synchronizing a turbine-generator.
Conti.
Speed Deviation
The resistor is switched on when the filtered speed
deviation of a particular oscillation to be damped is
positive, and the TCBR is switched off when the speed
deviation is negative.
Since the resistor only consumes power and does not
supply power, it helps to serve as a brake when the
speed is higher than normal but doesnt counter increase
in speed when the speed is lower than normal.
Conti
Figure shows the load pulses corresponding to the
unfiltered speed deviation input. It is evident that such a
signal will essentially result in damping the lowfrequency oscillation until the low-frequency swing is
small enough for the unfiltered signal to frequently cross
the zero line.
SWITCHING TECNIQUES
It is seen that because a thyristor will turn off only when its current
reaches zero, the TCBR conduction will last for about a half-cycle
longer with decreasing power during that extended period beyond
time tB1.
