    The document discusses Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) which consists of a series capacitor shunted by a Thyristor Controlled Reactor (TCR). The TCSC provides continuously variable series compensation by adjusting the delay angle of the TCR to vary the capacitive and inductive impedance. TCSC can operate in capacitive and inductive regions depending on the delay angle to regulate power flow and enhance stability in transmission lines.

    Thyristor Controlled series

    Capacitor(TCSC)

    9-1
    Variable Inpedance type Series Compensators

    • GTO Thyristor-Controlled Series Capacitor (GCSC)

    • Thyristor-switched Series Capacitor (TSSC)

    • Thyristor-Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC)

    9-2
    Introduction

    • TCSC consists of the series compensating capacitor


    shunted by a TCR
    • Rapid adjustment of network impedance is possible

    9-3
    TCSC

    • Several such basic compensators may be connected in


    series to obtain desired voltage rating and operating
    characteristics.

    • If XL is very small than that of Xc it can be operated


    in an on/off manner.

    9-4
    TCSC
    • TCSC provides continuously variable capacitance by partially cancelling
    the effective compensating capacitance by the TCR
    • TCR at the fundamental system frequency is a continuously variable
    reactive impedance, controllable by delay angle α, the steady state
    impedance of the TCSC is that of a parallel LC circuit, consisting of a
    fixed capacitive impedance XC and a variable inductive impedance XL (α).

    9-5
    TCSC

    • TCSC presents a tunable parallel LC circuit to the line


    current.

    • As the impedance XL(α) varied from maximum(∞) to


    minimum(ωL, achieved at = 0 ), capacitive
    impedance of TCSC increases & so the degree of
    capacitive compensation

    9-6
    TCSC

    9-7
    TCSC
    • At parallel resonance Xc=XL(α)
    • XTCSC = ∞
    • Further decrease in XL(α) make impedance of TCSC
    inductive
    • At α=0, XL(α) is minimum
    • Capacitor is bypassed by the TCR

    9-8
    TCSC

    • Around its internal resonance TCSC operate in two


    operating ranges

     αclim ≤ α ≤ π/2 (Capacitive)

     0 ≤ α ≤ αLlim (Inductive)

    TCSC in capacitive Region
    • Assume that the thyristor valve, s/w, is initially open
    and line current produced voltage vco across fixed
    series compensating capacitor.
    • And the TCR is to be tuned at , measured from
    negative peak of the capacitor voltage.
    • At the instant of turn-on the capacitor voltage is
    negative, the line current is positive and thus the
    charging the capacitor in the positive direction.
    • During positive half cycle thyristor valve can be
    viewed as an ideal s/w, closing at  in series with a
    diode with appropriate polarity to stop the conduction
    as the current crosses zero.
    9-12
    TCSC in capacitive Region

    • At the instant of closing switch two independent


    events take place
     The line current being constant current source, continues to
    charge the capacitor
     The charge on the capacitor will be reversed during the
    resonant half cycle of the LC circuit. Assume XL<XC
    • The resonant charge reversal produces a dc offset
    for the next half cycle.

    TCSC advantages and disadvantages

    • Small XL is advantageous in providing well defined


    charge reversal and control of the period time of
    compensating voltage.
    • Small value of reactor also provide effective bypass
    for large surge current during system fault.

    9-18
    • But small XL increases the magnitude of current
    harmonics generated by the TCR and circulated through
    the series capacitor.
    • Also increases the capacitor voltage harmonics injected
    in to the line.
    • The range of actual delay angle control decreases.
    • Control of closed loop parameter parameters becomes
    difficult.
    • It produces large short duration currents thus higher
    rating thyristor will be requirred.

    V-I Characteristics

    9-20
    V-I Characteristics

    • In the capacitive region the minimum delay


    angle α clim sets the limit for the maximum
    compensating voltage
    • In the inductive region α Llim limits the
    compensating voltage
