This paper describes, in a tutorial manner, TCSC control aspects illustrated through simulation results on a small power system model. The analysis and design of the TCSC controls, to schedule line power and damp system oscillations, are based on modal analysis. and time and frequency response techniques. Transient stability results are included, to validate and refine the TCSC controller desig...

Optimal supplementary damping controller design for Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) is presented in this paper. For the proposed controller design, a multi-objective fitness function consisting of both damping factors and real part of system electromachanical eigenvalue is used and RealCoded Genetic Algorithm (RCGA) is employed for the optimal supplementary controller parameters....

This paper discusses control design issues for the existing thyristor controlled series compensation (TCSC) device at Slatt substation on the Slatt–Buckley 500-kV transmission line owned by BPA. The controls were developed at Washington State University (WSU) in a project funded by Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). The project has been carried out in close collaboration between the WSU tea...

TCSC devices are used to improve real power and eliminate line loses in ac systems. An additional task of TCSC is to increase transmission capacity as result of power oscillation damping. In this paper eigenvalue-based methods for analysis and control of power system oscillations using TCSC have been developed. The characterization of power system oscillations using the eigenvalues and eigenvec...

In this paper, tuning of power system stabilizer (PSS) and thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) is studied. The analysis of mode controllability is used to select the effective location for TCSC. The performances of TCSC equipped with a proportional-integral-derivative controller (P-I-D controller) and proportional-integral-derivative power system stabilizer (P-I-D PSS) are investigated...

This paper investigates the performance of the single TCSC and proposed split TCSC on transmission system where India’s first TCSC project is installed in Kanpur Ballabhgarh (KB) line to ensure the fine tuning of line reactance by proposed split TCSC in place of existing KB TCSC. A three phase KB transmission system is developed in MATLAB/Simulink (SimPowerSystems) for a) without any compensati...

This paper investigates the application of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique for coordinated design of a Power System Stabilizer (PSS) and a Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC)-based controller to enhance the power system stability. The design problem of PSS and TCSC-based controllers is formulated as a time domain based optimization problem. PSO algorithm is employed to se...

TCSC (Thyristor-Controlled Series Compensator) has been used in modern power systems to increase power transfer and system stability. Besides, due to its controllable feature, TCSC has been used to work as a solution to sub-synchronous resonance (SSR) problems. However, it is not clear so far whether TCSC’s inherent characteristic can avoid SSR and its effectiveness for SSR damping. In this pap...

technique is applied to design a Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC)-based controller to enhance the power system stability. Two types of controller structures, namely a lead-lag (LL) and a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) are considered. Further, for the optimization of proposed controller parameters, two objective functions namely Integral Square Error (ISE) and Integral of T...
