This paper presents a method of analyzing power system dynamic performance
taking into account the transient processes of TCSC and Metal Oxidized Vari
stor (MOV), Simulation studies of the TCSC in a simple power system are und
ertaken in three cases: 1) incorporating only the dynamics of the TCSC into
the power system model, 2) the transient processes of both the TCSC and MO
V are included, and 3) the transient process of the TCSC is ignored, The si
mulation results show that the influence of the transient processes of the
TCSC and MOV on power system dynamic performance should be considered in st
udies of the TCSC control and power system stability analysis.
