Experimental Characterization and Evaluation of an Scaled-Down TCSC Prototype under Steady State Conditions

The focus of this paper is to report key aspects of the laboratory-level performance on a three-phase, scaled-down thyristor controlled series capacitor, TCSC, prototype. All-important issues concerned to the design and construction of the prototype are included in this work. The testing of the TCSC prototype is restricted to steady-state conditions. Several experimental cases are presented
