TCR
Allows continuous control of the reactive power absorbed
Thyristors in anti parallel connection act as a bidirectional switch
Delay firing of thyristors to reduce time that current flows through inductor
Thereby reducing fundamental magnitude of current and reducing reactive power absorbed

Firing Signals
Firing Angle ( ), Conduction angle ( )
Firing Angle is the delay time
Conduction angle is the time conducting
90 <

Example
A 3 phase FC -TCR with L=37.887mH, C=133.7uF is required to absorb reactive power in the range Q to +Q kVAr corresponding to conduction angles of 0 & 180 degrees respectively, when connected to a 690V 3 phase supply.
Find Q
Estimate conduction angle to give zero reactive power

SVC Firing Circuitry
Recall operation of SVC
Timing of firing angle determines magnitude of fundamental current by pulsing thyristors at appropriate time

TCR Firing Circuitry
A phase - locked loop or phase lock loop (PLL) generates a signal that has a fixed relation to the phase of a "reference" signal
In this case a sawtooth signal is generated of set frequency
DC comparison voltage adjusted up and down to give required positive crossover point i.e. required firing angle

Total Harmonic Distortion
THD is a measure of the harmonic content of a waveform. It can be calculated for V or I.
It is a measure of the effective value of the harmonic components of a distorted wave.

RMS
The rms value of the distorted waveform is not the sum of the individual harmonics but the square root of the sum of the squares

Power and Power Factor
Harmonic distortion complicates the computation of power and power factor
Apparent Power (S) is product of RMS voltage and current
P is average rate of delivery of energy
Q is component of S in quadrature with P

SVC
Filters for 5 th and 7 th and a HPF for higher order harmonics
Tripplen harmonics circulate in delta only under balanced conditions
During major disturbances, may get asymmetrical firing of thyristors
Give rise to DC components
Can saturate trafo and lead to further harmonics
Sometimes a 3 rd harmonic filter is used
-
Thyristor Switched Capacitor (TSC)
Allows control of supply of vars in discrete steps
Use a number of parallel connected capacitors
Each has thyristor pair bi -directional switch
Controller selects how many capacitors to switch in

TSC
Susceptance is adjusted by controlling # of capacitors (0,1,2....k)
Stepwise changes in susceptance
Could binary weight the capacitor to increase the number of steps for a given #
Usually all but one have susceptance B, the last one has B/2 giving 2k levels
