Basic Comparison Of Fix Capacitor-Thyristor Controlled Reactor, FC-TCR (SVC) And Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) In Electric Power System

Abstract

Abstract: In this work, effort is concentrated on explicit exposure of similarities and differences between FC-TCR and TCSC devices in electric system. Several distinct and common operational features of the two components are addressed and evaluated to build a comprehensive analysis for adequate comparison and contrast of the FACTS controllers. The two different models of the devices that split up their identically composed adjustable parameters (in terms of constituting components) into and are clearly demonstrated in attempt to ex-ray the relative functionalities of the controllers in power system. All the diagrams are very illustrative in picturing out the structural composition of FC-TCR and TCSC equipments in order to point at the obvious similitude of their basic circuit. Apart from the self-explanatory and theoretical preamble that leads the introduction, the nature of the work takes a posture of two-way stance in which the similar and varied characteristics of the controllers are vertically featured; thereby, covering the structural, functional and “installational” comparison; all displayed in a tabular form.
