Abstract
This paper deals with the application of Thyristor Controlled Series Reactor (TCSR) FACTS controller for mitigation of congestion in one or more lines of a power system. When generation is close to thermal limit then one or more healthy lines may face congestion, if some line is out of operation due to fault or maintenance. For a given voltage difference between two end buses of a congested line, the line current can be reduced to normal value or congestion can be mitigated by increasing the reactance of that line. The reactance of the line can be suitably increased with the help of series TCSR FACTS Controller. The reactance of the Controller can be suitably increased by firing the SCRs at the appropriate firing angles. TCSR FACTS Controller has been implemented to mitigate the congestion in IEEE 5-Bus and Modified IEEE 14-Bus Test systems. The TCSR FACTS Controller is successful in mitigation of congestion of any level.
