| Abstract | The FACTS technology is an attractive option for increasing system operation flexibility. One important FACTS component is the Thyristor-Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) which allows rapid and continuous changes of the transmission line impedance. In this paper, the steady-state power flows of Vietnamese transmission network are calculated and analyzed with and without TCSCs. A choice of the testing location of the TCSC is also carried out based on the power flow results. A Variable Series Impedance Power Flow model of the TCSC is applied to maintain the active power flowing on the compensated power transmission lines. The changing reactance represents the fundamental frequency, equivalent reactance of the TCSC module. The results of the power flow calculations on the compensated transmission system show practically the positive effects of applying the TCSC into the existing power network in Vietnam. |
