Abstract: If the reactive power of the load is changing rapidly, then a suitable fast response compensator is needed. SVC and TCPAR (Thyristor Control Phase Angle Reactor) are two such compensators belonging to FACTS family. A model for the Thyristor tap changer has been designed to improve the voltage level at the load end and also a smooth reactive power control is achieved by controlling the firing angle, when a R.L load is present.
