In this paper, RCF(Resistive Companion Form) analysis method which is used to analyze small signal stability problems of non-continuous systems including switching device. The RCF analysis method are applied to the power systems with the thyristor controled FACTS equipments such as TCSC. As a result of simulation, the RCF method is very powerful to calculate the oscillation modes exactly after the switching operations, and useful to analyze the small signal stability of power systems with switching devices such as FACTS equipments. As an applicable example of the RCF method in power system, the one machine infinite bus system including TCSC at generator terminal bus is investigated and the results proved that variations of oscillation modes after periodic switching operations of TCSC can be calculated exactly.

The Test Signal Method is adopted to analyze the impact of thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) on sub-synchronous oscillation. The results show that the simulation system takes the risk of Sub-synchronous Oscillation (SSO) while the TCSC is operating in the capacitive region. A supplementary excitation damping controller (SEDC) is used to mitigate SSO caused by the TCSC. A new optimization method which is aimed for optimal phase compensation is proposed. This method is realized by using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The simulation results show that the SEDC designed by this method has superior suitability, and that the secure operation scope of the TCSC is greatly increased.

This paper presented design of an $H_{\infty}$ controller for TCSC to enhance the damping of an inter-area oscillation in KEPCO power system. TCSC location is selected by using eigne sensitivity and frequency response. Nonliner time simulation and eigenvalue analysis show that the proposed TCSC $H_{\infty}$ controller can suppress the inter-area oscillations efficiently with induced reduction model correctly.

This paper proposes a combination of the Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) and Static Var Compensator (SVC) installation for enhancing the damping performance of a power system. The developed scheme employs a damping controller which coordinates measurement signals with control signals to control the TCSC and SVC. The coordinated control method is based on the application of projective controls. Controller performance over a range of operating conditions is investigated through simulation studies on a single-machine infinite-bus power system. The linear analysis and nonlinear simulation results show that the proposed controller can significantly improve the damping performance of the power system and hence, increase its power transfer capabilities. In this paper, a current injection model of TCSC is developed and incorporated in the transmission system model. By using equivalent injected currents at terminal buses to simulate a TCSC no modification of the bus admittance matrix is required at each iteration.

본 논문은 Exciter와 Power System Stabilizer(PSS)를 포함하는 발전기 제어장치와 싸이리스터에 의한 불연속 스위칭 동작을 하는 직렬형 Flexible AC Transmission System(FACTS) 설비인 Thyristor Controlled Static-var Compensator(TCSC)를 포함하는 전력계통의 고유치 해석과 안정도 개선을 위한 고유치 감도계수를 이산 시스템에서의 해석방법을 사용하여 해석하였다. 이산 시스템에서의 해석방법으로는 Resistive Companion Form(RCF) 해석법을 사용하였으며, 상태천이 방정식을 사용하여 감도해석에 필요한 계산 알고리즘을 제시하였고, 연속시스템에서의 해석결과와 비교하였다. TCSC의 스위칭 동작이 고려되지 않는 연속 시스템에서의 해석결과와 달리, 이산 시스템에서의 해석결과 스위칭 동작의 영향으로 제어기 정수에 대한 감도해석 결과가 일정한 방향성을 가지면서 주기적으로 변화하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 중요 진동모드에 대한 제어기정수의 감도계수 값이 연속시스템에서의 해석결과와 달리 싸이리스터의 주기적 스위칭 동작에 의해 다른 값을 가지면서 주기적으로 진동하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

전력 시스템에서 직렬 보상기의 적용은 회로 차단기 과도 재기 전압 (Transient Recovery Voltage : TRV) 문제와 같은 다른 장치에 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 TCSC (Thyristor-Controlled Series Capacitor)가 있는 경우와 없는 경우의 선로 차단기에 대한 TRV 효과를 시뮬레이션을 통해 분석하고, TCSC 설치로 인한 TRV 증가를 극복하는 효과적인 방법을 제안한다. 또한 금속 산화물 바리스터 (Metal Oxide Varistor : MOV)에 대한 제안된 보호의 영향에 대해서도 설명한다. 시뮬레이션 모델은 국내의 345 kV 송전선로를 사용하였다. 전력 시스템은 PSCAD (Power Systems Computer Aided Design) / EMTDC (Electro Magnetic Transient Direct Current)를 사용하여 모델링하였다. TRV는 송전선로 및 차단기 단자에서 단락 고장을 구현하여 분석하였고, MOV의 에너지는 보호 동작 알고리즘을 적용하여 해석하였다. 제안된 보호 방안을 적용하는 경우 TRV는 표준을 만족시키지만, 지연 시간이 증가함에 따라 MOV 에너지 용량의 증가하여야 한다. 이 결과를 적용하여 실제 전력 시스템에서 예상되는 전송 선로 고장 상태로 인한 TRV 문제를 해결할 수 있다.

Instead of building new substations or transmission lines, proper installation of flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) devices can make the transmission networks accommodate more power transfers with less expansion cost. In this paper, the problem to maximize power system loadability by optimally installing two types of FACTS devices, namely static var compensator (SVC) and thyristor controlled series compensator (TCSC), is formulated as a mixed discrete-continuous nonlinear optimization problem (MDCP). To reduce the complexity of the problem, the locations suitable for SVC and TCSC installations are first investigated with tangent vector technique and real power flow performance index (PI) sensitivity factor and, with the specified locations for SVC and TCSC installations, a set of schemes is formed. For each scheme with the specific locations for SVC and TCSC installations, the MDCP is reduced to a continuous nonlinear optimization problem and the computing efficiency can be largely improved. Finally, to cope with the technical and economic concerns simultaneously, the scheme with the biggest utilization index value is recommended. The IEEE-14 bus system and a practical power system are used to validate the proposed method.

This paper presents a systematic design procedure of $H_{\infty}$ controller of TCSC for damping low frequency inter-area oscillations in large power systems. Sensitivities of the inter-area mode for changes in line susceptance are computed using the eigen-sensitivity theory of augmented system matrix and TCSC locations are selected using the line sensitivities. The reduced model required for designing a manageable-size $H_{\infty}$ controller is obtained using the reduced frequency domain system identification method and the various weighting functions are tuned systematically to provide a robust performance. The proposed $H_{\infty}$ controller proved to be very effective for damping the inter-area mode of the large KEPCO power system.

This paper deals with the design and implementation of a TCSC (Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor) simulator, which is a module for an analog type power system simulator. Principally, it presents configuration of controller hardware/software and its experimental results. An analog type power system simulator consists of numerous power system components, such as various types of generator models, scale-downed transmission line modules, transformer models, switches and FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission System) devices. It has been utilized for the verification of the control algorithm and the study of system characteristics analysis. This TCSC simulator is designed for 50% line compensation rate and considered for damping resister characteristic analysis. Its power rate is three phase 380V 20kVA. For hardware extendibility, its controller is designed with VMEBUS and its main CPU is TMS320C32 DSP (Digital Signal Processor). For real time control and communications, its controller is applied to the RTOS (Real Time Operation System) for multi-tasking. This RTOS is uC/OS-II. The experimental results of capacitive mode and inductive mode operations verify the fundamental operations of the TCSC.
