Study on Influence of RL Load on the Operation Conditions of Capacitor Banks in a TCSC

Abstract

The paper presents the results of research into the influence of a controllable reactive power source on a series compensator in a electric power supply system. The main objective is to achieve assessment about the impact on the overload capability of power capacitors and non-sinusoidal current consumption modes. A simulation of this system was made using MATLAB Simulink, where the parameters of the real facilities are used. Having a physical and simulation model allows for more accurate calibration and creates a flexible research environment.
