Abstract

In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the number of thyristor-controlled shunt compensators used in industrial and utility systems for dynamic power factor correction and terminal voltage stabilization. These thyristor-controlled shunt compensators function as variable reactances operated in both the inductive and capacitive domains.
