모델급 TCSC의 설계 및 구현

Design and Implementation of a Laboratory Scale TCSC

Thyristor-controlled series capacitor (TCSC) is a power electronic-based device that provides a fast and controllable series compensation of transmission line reactance. To match with laboratory facilities and for further research initiatives, a practical laboratory scale TCSC was designed and fabricated in this paper. The TCSC parameters were designed based on the terminologies such as percentage of compensation, boost factor and resonance factor. According to the design parameters, a prototype laboratory scale TCSC with a constant reactance controller was fabricated and tested. The measured results from the laboratory scale TCSC demonstrate the ability of the TCSC to provide rapid control of series reactance of a transmission line.
