Modernizing electrical grids is imperative to meet the growing demand for reliable, efficient, and sustainable energy. Thyristor-Controlled Reactors (TCRs) are integral components of modern Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS). These systems offer a robust solution for enhancing grid stability, improving power quality, and optimizing transmission efficiency, ensuring that electric grids can support future energy needs. TCR-based FACTS are a collection of technologies designed to enhance the controllability, stability, and power transfer capability of AC electrical grid systems. In this paper, we will discuss the role of TCRs in modernizing AC transmission systems and their role in addressing grid challenges and improving performance, highlighting their critical role in future grid infrastructure. To discuss the future prospects and developments in TCR technology, with ongoing advancements and research efforts paving the way for more efficient, reliable, and flexible grid management solutions.
