Abstract: An Experimental Model is Available in FACTS Laboratory in Department. The Experimental Model Consist of Variable Impedance Type FACTS Devices. The General Types of Variable Impedance type FACTS Devices are TSC, TCR, GCSC, TSSC. The Main Objective of this Project is to study the Variable Impedance Type FACTS Device i.e. TSSC theoretically and obtained the different types of Operational and Control Characteristics of the Same Variable Impedance Type FACTS Device. MATLAB or Other Appropriate Software will be used in this Project to Support the Findings.
