As power system interconnections become more prevalent, there has been an increase in use of series
connected controllers for dynamic power compensation and enhancement of active power transmission capacity. A
thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) is one of the series FACTS devices which can be employed to enhance
power transfer capability of transmission line. It can govern the power either in ind uctive or capacitive operating region
appropriately by selecting proper L-C parameters and conduction angle. Mismatch in selection of parameters cause
multi-resonance condition. This paper represents various steps to be followed in selection of TCSC parameters. The
selected parameters are implemented in MATLAB software and satisfactory results are obtained. Also results are carried
out for various modes of operation of TCSC.
