Time-domain analysis of static VAR compensator by modified nodal analysis

Abstract

In this study, the analysis of fixed capacitor thyristor controlled reactor (FC-TCR), one of Static VAR compensation techniques, is performed by modified nodal analysis (MNA). In the analysis, semiconductor elements are modelled with two- valued resistor concept. The resulting equations are solved by Trapezoidal method, used in numerical analysis. All of the simulation results are obtained in Matlab M-File environment.
