Figure 2.7: The frequency characteristics <strong>of</strong> several harmonic filters connected<br />

in parallel. The system structure is the same as Figure 2.6 except that the filters<br />

are tuned to the harmonic frequencies this time.<br />

Unlike the above case, when TSC stages are chosen to filter the same frequency<br />

harmonics, the filters work more efficiently. The reactive power compensation<br />

is achieved, which is the main purpose, at the same time whichever stage is<br />

on, the required harmonic is filtered out without any distortion in frequency<br />

characteristics. It is obvious from Figure 2.8 that switching <strong>thyristor</strong>s on <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong>f has no effect on neither parallel resonance amplitude, nor series resonance<br />

frequency. Therefore it can be concluded that harmonic filtering has a second<br />

importance in a TSC <strong>design</strong> to obtain a stable operation. This characteristics<br />

<strong>of</strong> TSC is valuable if <strong>and</strong> only if it is used for one specific harmonic filtration.<br />

2.2.3 Terminal Voltage Regulation<br />

Many electronic devices are exposed to voltage variations due to the change<br />

in load type or load number connected to the electricity network. The varia-<br />
