Abstract :In this paper, prototypes of two shunt flexible AC transmission system insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FACTS); devices, a thyristor switched reactor insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TSR);-based static VAr compensator insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SVC); and a thyristor controlled reactor insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TCR);-based static VAr compensator- have been developed. The design and testing of both a TSR-based SVC and a TCR-based SVC are accomplished in the Power Systems Research Laboratory of Nigde University. The TSR-based SVC and TCR-based SVC devices are studied in three-bus and single machine infinite bus systems for three-phase static load conditions. The effects of TSR-based SVC and TCR-based SVC devices on load voltages are also analyzed. Experimental results show that significant improvement in reactive power compensation and voltage regulation is achieved by using TSR-based SVC and TCR-based SVC.
