To Design and Simulation of Fixed Capacitor- Thyristor Controlled Rector (FC-TCR)

At the end of this experiment students are able to

LO1: Understand the role of the TCR in reactive power compensation and power factor correction 

LO2: Analyze the voltage, current, and power characteristics under different load conditions. 

LO3: Understand the dynamics of switching operations and their effects on power flow. 

LO4: Understand how FC-TCR can be used for voltage regulation and power factor improvement. 

MATLAB Software: Simscape (power system toolbox)
