Application Examples of the Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor
The solution was to use one of the six, small series capacitor modules as a fixed capacitor. The published total losses for the Slatt TCSC system would be highest if the system was operated in the maximum possible inductive operating mode (Larsen et al. 1994). At this operating point, the power loss of the TCSC system was about 0.6% of the TCSC ...
