A Transient Free Novel Control Technique for Reactive Power Compensation using Thyristor Switched Capacitor

  Chaudhari Krunal Ravindrabhai,  Prof. Rajesh Prasad

Nowadays the power system is complicated and it’s very difficult to fulfill the required demand with good power quality. Power electronics based FACTS device are one of the suitable solution for improving power quality. FACTS devices are divided as Shunt controller and Series controller. Shunt controller called Static Var Compensator (SVC) are used for power factor correction and to improve voltage profile while Series controller are used to control power flow or improve transient stability. Among the various SVCs controller, Thyristor Switched Capacitor (TSC) is proposed in this paper because of their advantages over other SVCs. In this paper, firstly a controller is designed for TSC with simple circuit model is simulated. The modeling and simulation results with improved transient response were obtained in MATLAB software tool. The hardware model with novel control technique of TSC is also discussed with results.
