ABSTRACT
Power system stability issues are generally classified into two parts, steady-state and transient. Steady-state stability is related to the ability of the power system to keep synchronism after low disturbances like gradual load change. Transient stability deals with the effects of large and sudden disturbances like fault occurrence, line outage, and sudden change in loads. The Thyristor-Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) is a type of series FACTS Devices that has various applications. In this paper, the impact of TCSC on power system stability under load disturbances is investigated. For the case studies, the IEEE 14-bus test system is chosen, and a TCSC is installed in the system. According to simulation results, the TCSC can improve the voltage profile and result in power system stability under load disturbances.
