Experimental Study of Some Variable Impedance Type FACTS Devices

Abstract

In this paper experimental results of different types of SVC namely TCR, GCSC, FC-TCR are presented. The experiments are carried out in the FACTS lab of Electrical Engineering Department at G.H.Raisoni College of Engineering, Nagpur, India. The effect of Fixed Capacitor- Thyristor controlled reactor (FC-TCR) on the transmission line is studied and the readings are recorded with SVC connected at the midpoint of transmission line. The operating V-I area of SVC is also plotted.
