Abstract

The article deals with the use of thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) in the power system. Aim of this work is to show the possibilities of using TCSC and its modelling in a simple electrical network from the perspective of power flow control by using MATLAB SimPowerSystem. Given the current pace of increasing electricity transmission and growth requirements for transit is to increase safety, capacity, controllability and flexibility of systems for the transmission of electricity, needed the implementation of certain measures and specialized equipment. Such specialized equipment is also TCSC from group of FACTS devices.
