A thyristor-switched capacitor (TSC) is a type of equipment used for compensating reactive power in electrical power systems. It consists of a power capacitor connected in series with a bidirectional thyristor valve and, usually, a current limiting reactor (inductor).
Index Terms: FACTS, Thyristor switched series capacitor (TSSC). This paper describes operation of TSSC for improvement of power transfer and also for stabilizing system. The concept of FACTS able to boost ac system controllability and stability. The main types of FACTS devices are TCR, TSC, GCSC and TSSC.
When the current flows through the reactor is controlled by the firing angle of the thyristor. During every half cycle, the thyristor produces the triggering pulse through the controlled circuit. The TSC stands for the Thyristor switch capacitor. It is an equipment used for compensating the reactive power in the electrical power system.
In the off-state voltage, the TSC should be off and there is no current flow in the thyristor-switched capacitor. The voltage is supported by the thyristor valve. If the TSC is switched off for a long time, then the capacitor will fully discharge and the thyristor valve will experience the AC voltage of an SVC bus bar.
The current in the TSC will then consist of a fundamental-frequency component (50 Hz or 60 Hz) superimposed on a much larger current at the tuned frequency of the TSC. This transient current can take hundreds of milliseconds to die away, during which time the cumulative heating in the thyristors may be excessive.
Capacitor Bank The largest item of equipment in a TSC, the capacitor bank, is constructed from rack-mounted outdoor capacitor units, each unit typically having a rating in the range 500 – 1000 kilovars (kVAr). 3.2.
