It is a major concern for utility companies, power engineers, and consumers everywhere that power outages, voltage fluctuations, and power system breakdowns may occur. The voltage profile and power quality of the system as a whole will benefit from a more refined reactive power adjustment. This study investigates the use of a series capacitor controlled by a thyristor to achieve reactive power balance in an IEEE-9 bus system. For these purposes, we use the simulation and analytical tool Mipower (version 6.1). The load flow problem has been solved using the Newton Raphson technique. At first, we checked out the IEEE-9 bus architecture with a series capacitor managed by a thyristor. The system study evaluates TCSC and traditional systems, contrasting their reactive power compensation, voltage profiles, and line losses. Results from the two scenarios show that TCSC boosts system performance.
