Figure 2.1: Various configuration <strong>of</strong> Thyristor Switched Capacitor Circuit (a)<br />

Delta Connection, (b) Wye Connection.<br />

Figure 2.2: Representation <strong>of</strong> an ideal TSC branch. Each phase may include<br />

more than one <strong>thyristor</strong>/capacitor combination to increase the reactive power<br />

variation. The number <strong>of</strong> branches depends on the reactive power required.<br />

There is one more topology worth to mention since it has some advantages<br />

over classical configurations in several application areas. As can be seen from<br />

Figure 2.3, capacitor banks are connected in delta. To increase the benefits<br />

<strong>of</strong> this connection type, <strong>thyristor</strong>/diode or <strong>thyristor</strong>/GTO pairs are introduced<br />
