Impact of Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor on Voltage Profile of Transmission Lines using PSAT

Abstract

In power system voltage stability is very important in order to maintain the voltage within the defined limits. The demand of electrical power increases in the last decade due to the lack of expansion in the generation and transmission network. The available transmission network is heavily loaded. This loading of transmission network cause the voltage instability. This instability on heavy loaded system creates voltage collapse which causes the power loss. Due to this phenomenon it is necessary to keep monitoring the voltage instability and to reduce voltage collapse. Voltage collapse mostly occurs due to the minimum availability of the reactive power. A power electronic device i.e. Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) is used to add the reactive power to the system which improve the voltage profile and minimizes the chances due to which the voltage collapse occur. In this paper FACTS series compensator, i.e. Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitors (TCSC) is injected between the two nodes of the IEEE 6 bus bar test system to check the voltage profile. PSAT (Power System Analysis Tool) tool, which is a new tool in MATLAB for study in power system analysis is used. IEEE-6 bus system is used as a test system for the effectiveness of the proposed method. The voltage profile with and without TCSC device is then compared to conclude the result.
