Modeling and Analysis of a TCR-FC Reactive Power Compensator Using the Harmonic Domain

This paper presents a methodology for steady-state and transient analysis in electrical networks, the methodology is applied to reactive power compensation using thyristor-controlled reactor with fixed capacitor (TCR-FC). The method is based on the use of dynamic harmonic domain (DHD) and associated discrete circuit models. The dynamic harmonic domain is a natural approach for conducting dynamic and steady-state studies of the evolution of harmonics in electrical networks. On the other hand, the associated discrete circuit models facilitate the transient analysis of large electrical networks.
