Methods of Controllable Var Generation

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

Fixed Capacitor, Thyristor-Controlled Reactor Type


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:
