This document discusses different methods of controllable reactive power generation using static var generators. It describes thyristor-controlled reactors (TCR), thyristor-switched capacitors (TSC), and combinations of these including the thyristor-controlled capacitor-thyristor-controlled reactor (TSC-TCR) type var generator. The TCR controls reactor current through thyristor firing delay angle control while the TSC switches capacitor banks in and out of the system using thyristors. The TSC-TCR type was developed for dynamic power compensation and minimizes losses while providing operational flexibility.

The
current in the reactor can be controlled from
maximum (thyristor valve closed) to zero (thyristor valve open) by the method of firing delay angle control. the current in the reactor can be expressed with u(t) : V coswt as follows:
The Thyristor-Switched Capacitor (TSC)
Reactor
is needed primarily to limit the surge
current in the thyristor valve under abnormal operating conditions (e.g., control malfunction causing capacitor switching at a "wrong time," when transient free switching conditions are not satisfied) it may also be used to avoid resonances with the ac system impedance at particular frequencies he current in the branch is given by

Var Ganeraton
The
fixed capacitor, thyristor-controlled reactor type var
generator may be considered essentially to consist of a variable reactor (controlled by delay angle a) and a fixed capacitor, with an overall var demand versus var output characteristic The control of the thyristor-controlled reactor in the FC-TCR type var generator needs to provide four basic functions, One function is synchronous timing. The second function is the reactiue current (or admittance) to firing angle conuersion. The third function is the computation of the required fundamental reactor current Ipp The fourth function is the thyristor firing pulse generation.

Tsc tcr type compensator was developed primarily for
dynamic compensation of power transmission systems with the intention of minimizing standby losses and providing increased operating flexibility. The operation of the basic TSC-TCR var generator shown in Figure 5.22(a) can be described as follows:
