In this paper a novel method for finding the fault zone on a Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) incorporated transmission line is presented. The method makes use of the Support Vector Machine (SVM), used in the classification mode to distinguish between the zones, before or after the TCSC. The use of Discrete Wavelet Transform is made to prepare the features which would be given as th...

Thyristor-controlled series capacitor (TCSC) as one of the most important FACT devices can be used for various purposes such as reactive power compensation, voltage control, dynamic stability improvement and power oscillation damping in power systems. Practical aspects on sizing of TCSC elements must be considered to have the fast and reliable switching from capacitor to inductive region and vi...

This paper presents an algorithm, for solving the Optimal Power Flow problem with flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS). The type of FACTS devices is used: thyristor-controlled series capacitor (TCSC). A method to determine the optimal location of thyristor controlled series compensators has been suggested. The proposed approaches have been implemented on an adapted IEEE 26 bus system. The s...

An SSR problem has been noticed and caused repeated triggering of the protection. A study indicated that SSR conditions might appear for some network configurations. Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) was found to eliminate the problem. The paper discusses the problem and introduce different types of protective relays for mitigation of SSR.

in today’s restructured environment, congestion management plays an essential role in power system operation. different methods are presented and discussed in this respect for congestion management in short-term and long-term intervals. it is attempted in the present paper to investigate the impact mechanism of facts devices and demand response programs together with generation re-dispatch as s...

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 presents a comparative study of the performance of distance relays for transmission line high voltage (HV) 400 kV in Eastern Algerian transmission networks at Group Sonelgaz compensated by two different series Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) i.e. GTO Controlled Series Capacitor (GCSC) and Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) connected at midpoint of an electrical tran...

With the massive increase in the population and, as a result of the expansion of the power grid, new problems such as loss power in network retaliation were created. So studies on this issue began. These studies led to the emergence of FACTs devices. The Flexible AC transmission System (FACTS) devices, such as, thyristor controlled series compensators (TCSC) may be used to enhance system perfor...
