Abstract

In present days, increasing power demand leads to operate the transmission networks at their maximum operating limits. To overcome the problem of power flow control in a power system network, Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) is included. TCSC is one of the series compensating Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) devices; it consists of a series compensating capacitor shunted by a Thyristor Controlled Reactor (TCR). The main objective of TCSC is to provide partial continuously variable impedance by cancelling the effective compensating capacitance. The aim of this work is to improve the real power flow in the transmission line under different loading conditions and also simulation is carried out for different levels of compensation. In this work, performance analysis of electrical network using MATLAB Simulink and IEEE five bus system is carried out using Mi-Power tool.
