Power System in India spreads over five regions namely Eastern, Western, Northern, Southern and NorthEastern. The paper focuses on detailed study of the thyristor controlled series capacitors (TCSC) installed in India on400 kV transmission lines. Rourkela-Raipur 400 kV double circuit link between Eastern and Western Regions is plannedto operate both region in synchronization. Purnea – Muzaffarpur and Muzaffarpur – Gorakhpur 400 kV Double circuitare also using TCSC. Power Transfer capability of 400 kV long transmission line is restricted by the stability limit whichis less compared to the thermal capability of the line. Series compensation in the transmission lines have beensuccessfully employed in electric power networks. With the beginning of thyristor control, the idea of seriescompensation has been expanded and its utility has been increased further. Using series compensation, increase in thetransfer capability of existing power transmission systems can be achieved at a lower investment cost. Installation timecan also be saved compared to the building of additional new lines. By series compensation systems using TCSC,additional benefits like dynamic power flow control, prospect for power oscillation damping, as well as damping of subsynchronous resonance (SSR) can be obtained.
