The Approach for Optimization of Transmission over Power Links using the Thyristor-Controlled Series Compensation
Abstract
The energy transportation networks can be improved by multiplying or creating new lines. This is not always the case for various reasons. The series capacities controlled by SCRs (Silicon Controlled Rectifiers) represent a good alternative to optimize the existing or the new electric links, because they allow the increase of the dynamic stability, the damping of the power oscillations, while balancing the loads between the parallel circuits. This paper presents a resolution method to the power distribution by inserting the TCSC transit controller in the network. The insertion of the TCSC devices has given satisfying results that are, an increase of the transmitted active power and reduction of active losses, an improvement of the angular stability and the voltage stability without decreasing the transportation capacity.
