Optimum Location of Thyristor Controlled Phase Angle Regulator Based on Performance Index

Optimization of FACTS Devices: Classification, Recent Trends, and Future Outlook

“…TCPAR: It uses phase-shifting transformer and thyristor switches for regulating the parameters of power system. One of the striking features that TCPAR offers is: regulation of the power flow without affecting power stability in that particular network [38]. It can also be employed for adjusting power flow after contingencies due to faults in the system [39].…”

Deployment of FACTS Controllers in Solving Power System Network Problems: A Review

“…Impacts of SSSC control parameters were verified in [61], while TCSC was used in [62], [63] and [64] for ATC enhancement. TCPAR and TCSC were used in [65] and [66] with parameter setting of TCPAR done with device phase angle performance index sensitivity, while that of the TCSC done with hybridized RGA, AHP and FL algorithms. TCSC, TCPAR and SVC were the devices used in another work by [67], while authors in [68] limited the devices to TCSC and TCPAR for the purpose of ATC enhancement.…”
