❖ Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC)
• It is one of the FACTS devices
• It is a series compensation device
• There are two types of Thyristor/GTO-based series compensator.
(i) Discrete control device [Switched Capacitor]
Here the switching operation can be either fully ON or fully OFF.
Example: TSSC [Thyristor switched series capacitor]
GSSC [GTO switched series capacitor]
(ii) Continuous control device [Controlled Capacitor]
Here the switching operation can be either fully ON or partially ON or fully OFF.
Example: TCSC [Thyristor controlled series capacitor]
GCSC [ GTO controlled series capacitor]
Basic Schematics of Different Types of Series Compensators
TSSC:
• The TSSC (Thyristor Switched Series Capacitor) consists of a capacitor and a bidirectional
thyristor switch. The schematic diagram of the TSSC is shown in Fig. 1.
• When the bidirectional switches are ON, they create a short circuit path, removing the
capacitor from the system.
• When the switches are fully OFF, the capacitor remains in the system and functions as a
fixed capacitor.

TCSC:
• The TCSC scheme consists of a fixed capacitor and a controllable reactor in parallel as
shown in Fig.2.
• The bidirectional switches are used to control the overall impedance of the device.
• The overall impedance of the device is controlled by controlling the reactance of the
variable reactor which is conned in parallel with the fixed capacitor.

• In this TCSC, we are controlling the reactor (as capacitor is fixed). By controlling the
inductor, we are controlling the overall impedance of the LC parallel circuit and this circuit
is series with the whole system. So, the whole system is getting controlled.

UHSC (Ultra-high-speed contactor):


• It is like an isolator and operate online.
• It will be turned ON when the bidirectional switch is fully ON, in order to bypass the
switches so that the losses can be decreased. (If Thyristors are turned ON for prolong
then conduction losses happen.)
• It should be turned on after few milliseconds of the thyristor circuit is turned on and it
will be turned off before few milli second of the thyristor circuit.
M.O.V(Metal oxide varistor):
• It is a non-linear resistance.

• It is used to limit voltage across the capacitor and protects the capacitor from the
overvoltage.
C.B (Circuit Breaker):
• It is used to bypass whole circuit in faulty condition.
𝑳𝒅 (Current limiting Reactor):
• It is used to limit current in capacitor bypass mode.
Typical TCSC scheme
A TCSC scheme is consists of a number of TCSC units connected in series as shown in Fig.4.

Advantages of TCSC:
• Enhancement of power flow with reduced rating. (Power flow is inversely proportional
to the overall reactance of transmission line and TCSC can reduce the value of the
overall reactance of the transmission line).
• Dynamic control of power flow and voltage support.
• Damping of power system oscillation.
• Power scheduling through transmission line.
Disadvantages of TCSC:
• Losses will be higher.
• Resonance problem may occur.

In both the cases, the impedances of TCSC are same. However, the TCR current is twice in
inductive mode of operation as that of the capacitive mode. This is an important consideration
in choice of the ratings of thyristors as thyristor should be designed according to maximum
current carrying capability.
Modes of operation of TCSC:
Assumption: TCSC is lossless.
Basically, a TCSC is operated either of these THREE modes.
(i) Bypassed Thyristor Mode:
• In this mode, the GATE of thyristors are controlled to be in fully ON condition.

Fig 8. TCSC operation in bypassed thyristor mode

• TCSC module behaves like a parallel L-C circuit. The reactance of the reactor (TCR) is
designed to be lower value than that of the fixed capacitor. But, the net current is inductive
because inductive reactance is kept lower than capacitive reactance. So, most of the line
current flow through the TCR as indicated in Fig.8.
• This mode is of operation of TCSC used to protect the capacitor against overvoltage.
(ii) Blocked Thyristor Mode:

• In this mode, the thyristor is kept fully OFF as shown in Fig.9. It is also known as fixed
capacitor mode of operation.
• This mode of operation is generally avoided and it is used as waiting mode before the
Vernier control mode.

• In this mode of operation, the Thyristors are operated in partially conducting mode.
• There are two different Vernier control modes:
(a) Inductive Vernier control mode:
The net impedance of TCSC, i,e., 𝑍𝑇𝐶𝑆𝐶 is inductive. [𝑍𝑇𝐶𝑆𝐶 : 𝑃𝑂𝑆𝐼𝑇𝐼𝑉𝐸]
(b) Capacitive Vernier control mode:
The net impedance of TCSC, i,e., 𝑍𝑇𝐶𝑆𝐶 is capacitive. [𝑍𝑇𝐶𝑆𝐶 : 𝑁𝐸𝐺𝐴𝑇𝐼𝑉𝐸]

𝑖 𝑇𝐶𝑅 (𝑡) = (𝜆2 −1) 𝐼𝑚 cos(𝜔𝑡) + 𝐴𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝜔𝑟 𝑡) + 𝐵𝑠𝑖𝑛(𝜔𝑟 𝑡)
ⅆ𝑖𝑇𝐶𝑅 (𝑡)
From Eqn (4), we know, 𝑣𝑐 (𝑡) = 𝐿 ⅆ𝑡

Substituting Eqn (8) in Eqn (4)


𝜆2
𝑣𝑐 (𝑡) = −𝐿 (𝜆2 −1) 𝐼𝑚 𝜔 sin(𝜔𝑡) − 𝐿𝐴𝜔𝑟 𝑠𝑖𝑛(𝜔𝑟 𝑡) + 𝐿𝐵𝜔𝑟 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝜔𝑟 𝑡) (9)

⇒ 2𝐿𝐵𝜔𝑟 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜆𝛽 = 0
⇒𝐵=0 (10)
Derivation for the expression of 𝐴
Boundary condition: 𝑖 𝑇𝐶𝑅 (𝑡) = 0]𝜔𝑡=−𝛽 = 0
𝜆2
We know, 𝑖 𝑇𝐶𝑅 (𝑡) = (𝜆2 −1) 𝐼𝑚 cos(𝜔𝑡) + 𝐴𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝜆𝜔𝑡) [As 𝐵 = 0 ]

𝜆2
⇒ 0 = (𝜆2 −1) 𝐼𝑚 cos(𝜔𝑡) + 𝐴𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝜆𝛽)

𝜆2 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝛽)
⇒ 𝐴 = − (𝜆2 −1) 𝐼𝑚 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝜆𝛽) (11)

So, the expression for the instantaneous current flowing through the TCR (Reactor) is,
𝜆2 𝜆2 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝛽)
𝑖 𝑇𝐶𝑅 (𝑡) = (𝜆2 −1) 𝐼𝑚 cos(𝜔𝑡) − (𝜆2 −1) 𝐼𝑚 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝜆𝛽) 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝜆𝜔𝑡)

𝜆2 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝛽)
⇒ 𝑖 𝑇𝐶𝑅 (𝑡) = (𝜆2 −1) 𝐼𝑚 [cos(𝜔𝑡) − 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝜆𝛽) 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝜆𝜔𝑡)] (12)

The expression for the instantaneous voltage across the capacitor of TCSC is,
𝜆2
𝑣𝑐 (𝑡) = −𝜔𝐿 ( 2 ) 𝐼 sin(𝜔𝑡) − 𝐿𝐴𝜔𝑟 𝑠𝑖𝑛(𝜔𝑟 𝑡)
𝜆 −1 𝑚

𝜆2 𝜆2 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝛽)
= −𝜔𝐿 ( 2
) 𝐼𝑚 sin(𝜔𝑡) + 𝐿𝜔𝑟 ( 2
) 𝐼𝑚 𝑠𝑖𝑛(𝜆𝜔𝑡)
𝜆 −1 𝜆 −1 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝜆𝛽)

𝜆2 𝜆2 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝛽)
= −𝜔𝐿 ( 2 ) 𝐼𝑚 sin(𝜔𝑡) + 𝜆 𝜔𝐿 ( 2 ) 𝐼𝑚 𝑠𝑖𝑛(𝜆𝜔𝑡)
𝜆 −1 𝜆 −1 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝜆𝛽)
𝜆2 𝜆𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝛽)
⇒ 𝑣𝑐 (𝑡) = 𝜔𝐿 (𝜆2 −1) 𝐼𝑚 [− sin(𝜔𝑡) + 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝜆𝛽) 𝑠𝑖𝑛(𝜆𝜔𝑡)] (13)

Now, 𝜔𝐿 = 𝑋𝐿 = reactance of the TCR reactor


𝜔𝑟 1
λ = , 𝜔𝑟 =
𝜔 √𝐿𝐶
1
⇒ λ = 𝜔√𝐿𝐶 ⇒ λ2 𝜔2 𝐿𝐶 = 1 ⇒ λ2 (𝜔𝐿)(𝜔𝐶) = 1
1
⇒ λ2 (𝜔𝐿) = (𝜔𝐶) = 𝑋𝐶 [Capacitive reactance] (14)

Substituting Eqn (14) in (13), we get


𝐼𝑚 𝑋𝐶 𝜆𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝛽)
⇒ 𝑣𝑐 (𝑡) = [−𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜔𝑡 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝜆𝛽) 𝑠𝑖𝑛(𝜆𝜔𝑡)] (15)
𝜆2 −1

This equation (15) is applicable when 𝑢 = 1 i.e., 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑖 𝑇𝐶𝑅 (𝑡) ≠ 0


When the TCR is non-conducting, the TCSC will act as a fixed capacitor.
So, when 𝑢 = 0 [TCR is non-conducting, 𝑖 𝑇𝐶𝑅 (𝑡) = 0 ], we need to derive the expression for
the instantaneous voltage across the capacitor.
𝐶 ⅆ𝑣𝐶 (𝑡)
Thus, 𝑖𝑐 (𝑡) = 𝑖(𝑡) = ⅆ𝑡
1
⇒ 𝑣𝑐 (𝑡) = 𝐶 ∫ 𝑖(𝑡) 𝑑𝑡 + 𝑣𝑐 (𝑡)]𝜔𝑡=+𝛽

𝐼𝑚 𝑋𝐶 𝜆𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝛽)
𝑣𝑐 (𝑡)]𝜔𝑡=+𝛽 = 2
[−𝑠𝑖𝑛𝛽 + 𝑠𝑖𝑛(𝜆𝛽)]
𝜆 −1 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝜆𝛽)
𝐼𝑚 𝑋𝐶
𝑣𝑐 (𝑡)]𝜔𝑡=+𝛽 = [−𝑠𝑖𝑛𝛽 + 𝜆𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝛽)𝑡𝑎𝑛(𝜆𝛽)] = 𝑉𝑐′ (16)
𝜆2 −1

[𝑉𝑐′ : Voltage across the capacitor before the fixed capacitor mode starts]
At fixed capacitor mode of operation,
1
𝑣𝑐 (𝑡) = 𝑉𝑐′ + 𝐶 ∫ 𝐼𝑚 cos(𝜔𝑡) 𝑑𝑡
1
⇒ 𝑣𝑐 (𝑡) = 𝑉𝑐′ + 𝐼 [𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜔𝑡 − 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝛽] = 𝑉𝑐′ + 𝐼𝑚 𝑋𝑐 [𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜔𝑡 − 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝛽] (17)
𝜔𝐶 𝑚

The instantaneous voltage across the capacitor can be written as


𝐼𝑚 𝑋𝐶 𝜆𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝛽)
𝑣𝑐 (𝑡) = [−𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜔𝑡 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝜆𝛽) 𝑠𝑖𝑛(𝜆𝜔𝑡)], 𝜔𝑡𝜖[−𝛽, 𝛽] ⟸TCR is conducting, 𝑖 𝑇𝐶𝑅 (𝑡) ≠ 0
𝜆2 −1

𝑣𝑐 (𝑡) = 𝑉𝑐′ + 𝐼𝑚 𝑋𝑐 [𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜔𝑡 − 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝛽] ⟸TCR is non-conducting, 𝑖 𝑇𝐶𝑅 (𝑡) = 0 (18)


𝐼𝑚 𝑋𝐶
Where, 𝑉𝑐′ = [−𝑠𝑖𝑛𝛽 + 𝜆𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝛽)𝑡𝑎𝑛(𝜆𝛽)] ⟸ Time-invariant.
𝜆2 −1

Remarks:
(i) The voltage across the fixed capacitor is harmonic in nature.
(ii) We can determine the fundamental component of the capacitor voltage [𝑣𝑐 (𝑡)] from this
equation (18).
(iii) We can also determine the time-varying impedance of TCSC i.e., 𝑍𝑇𝐶𝑆𝐶 from this equation
(18).
