Abstract:This paper compares by simulation the Thyristor Switched Series Capacitors (TSSC) Circuit with the Thyristor Switched Parallel Capacitors (TSPC) Circuit for wind turbines. The well-known TSSC circuit belongs to the Controlled Series Capacitor (CSC) circuits that have been used in power transmission lines in order to correct the power factor and improve the performance of the electrical system. Such a circuit can be used in wind power systems to improve and maximize the efficiency of a wind turbine. A typical d… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
