Abstract
Modern interconnected systems are quite complex and require careful planning, design and operation. The recent trend towards restructuring and deregulation of power supply has put a greater emphasis on system operation and control. The introduction of HVDC and FACTS controllers in transmission networks provides both challenges and opportunities for optimum utilization of existing facilities. For example, series compensation of long lines is an economic solution to the problem of enhancing power transfer and improving system stability. The present trend is to introduce thyristor controllers to provide flexible and controlled series compensation. The Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) can not only improve system security by fast control action, but also overcome the problem of Subsynchronous Resonance (SSR) which is normally associated with fixed series compensation.
