The Harmonic Characteristic Analyzing of Reactive Power Compensation Equipment Based on PSCAD

In power system, simulation is an effective method to analyze complex circuits. This paper first analyzes the harmonic characteristic of the reactive power compensation equipment TCR (thyristor controlled reactor) in theory, then validates analysis results and gives the way of improving its performance in simulation software PSCAD (power system computer aided design). Practice proves that the model system built in PSCAD has excellent application value and the software PSCAD is very competent in harmonic analyzing and processing.
