A low-cost composite reactive power compensation model is proposed. The model consists of a Thyristor Switched Capacitor (TSC), a Thyristor Controlled Reactor (TCR). The paper completes the preliminary compensation by the large-capacity TSC+TCR module modules work together to improve the best in performance. Generally, due to the lagging load current when heavy inductive loads are connected to transmission line, an issue of poor power factor is introduced. Also, in some other cases, due to some minor load, very low current flows through the transmission line results in a leading shunt capacitance in the line which causing voltage amplification due to which the receiving end voltage may become twice of the sending end voltage that is Ferranti effect is introduce in long transmission lines. To prevent occurrence of such a fault in transmission system, we have a new concept of reactive power management using TSC & TCR as it will automatically provide efficient current controlling range from capacitive to inductive values by varying the firing angle of thyristor through microcontroller.
