Thyristor and GTO Controlled Series Capacitors (TCSC & GCSC): Enhancing Power System Stability

Leave a Comment / Power Factor, Power Quality, Transmission System /

Introduction The stability and efficiency of modern power transmission networks are critical as electricity demand grows globally. Ensuring that power flows optimally across transmission lines while maintaining grid reliability is a major challenge for power system engineers. This is where Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) come into play, particularly Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitors (TCSC) and […]

Causes of Low Power Factor and Its Disadvantages

Leave a Comment / Power Factor /

Low power factor can be caused by: Inductive Loads: Equipment such as motors and transformers that draw lagging currents. Harmonic Distortion: Non-linear loads that introduce harmonics into the system. Poor Design: Inefficient system design that does not account for power factor correction. A low power factor results in several inefficiencies: Increased Transmission Losses: Higher current
