Abstract

See full text

There are provided methods, devices, and systems relating to discharging thyristor-switched capacitors. For example, there is provided a method for discharging the capacitors of a thyristor-switched capacitor (TSC) device coupled to a transmission line. The method includes determining whether an angle of a voltage on the transmission line is within a threshold angle. Further, the method can include operating the device in a discharging mode when the angle is within the threshold angle and the threshold angle is in a predetermined set of threshold angles.
