Abstract

This paper investigates the performance of GTO switches based STS system for improving the power quality of a sensitive three-phase RL load. Performance of the proposed system is compared with IEEE Benchmark System (STS-1). Extensive simulations are carried out to validate the use of GTO switches in medium voltage systems to achieve a lesser transfer time in network reconfiguration. Performance evaluation of GTO based STS system is carried out under various faults/disturbance conditions. Simulations are performed using simulink tool of MATLAB software package.
