Design and Simulation of Reactive Power Compensation by Using Fixed Capacitor Thyristor Controlled Reactor
The objective of this paper is to develop a Model for the reactive power compensation of the unbalanced load by using FACTs device FC-TCR. TCR are widely used in industry, however the control of unbalanced and non-linear system using TCR control scheme doesn’t give good performance at all operating points. Here, a model based predictive controller with model is designed and implemented for the Reactive power compensation of unbalanced load. In this paper reactive power and power factor are determined before and after compensation. The control of the FC-TCR is also provided in this paper. The FC-TCR Controller is used and simulated using MATLAB. In this paper simulation results are represented. As per variation of the firing angle of the FC-TCR the Compensation is obtained. The main objective of this paper will be to maintain currents balanced and unity factor with their voltages.
