Nowadays, voltage stability issues are the main problems around the world and therefore it is important that to maintain stable voltage stability. Series capacitor compensation plays an important role in the transmission line because it can improve the voltage stability as compared to shunt compensation. The Thyristor-Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) is selected in this project for providing capacitor compensation because its ability to control the amount of compensation in the transmission line, and operating in three different mode of region, which are resonance, capacitive, and inductive regions. The Fast Voltage Stability Index (FVSI) is used to determine the system’s stability and determine the weakest line in the system for TCSC placement. The TCSC sizing is optimized by using Differential Evolution (DE) optimization technique. All these processes are simulated on Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineer (IEEE) 14-bus test system by using MATLAB. The proposed methodology was carried out in few tests, which are system contingency test, line outage test, power loss test, voltage profile improvement test and variable TCSC location. Based on the results, the overall voltage stability of the system was improved. The voltage magnitude for each bus had improved and the total power losses also reduced. Therefore, the optimization is successful and the study’s aim is achieved.

A thyristor-controlled series capacitor (TCSC) is employed to a transmission line in order to enhance the usable capacity of the present as well as upgraded lines, improve system stability, reduce losses, and improve power flow control capability. However, in an abnormal situation, the TCSC may transit from the existing operation mode to the other mode according to its control system and protection strategy. There is much difference in the impedance of the TCSC between each mode. This threatens the reliability of the conventional protection system, especially the distance relay, that works based on the measurement of line impedance. In this paper, we suggest a new protection scheme for a distance relay of a transmission line equipped with a TCSC. In the suggested method, in order to mitigate the effect of the TCSC in the fault loop, the TCSC injected voltage is subtracted from the measured phase voltage before supplying the voltage signal to the distance relay. The suggested scheme was verified by a real time digital simulator (RTDS)-based closed-loop test bed of a protective relay. The effect of the TCSC in the fault loop was completely mitigated. The distance relay works properly with the suggested scheme.
