Question: 2 ) Consider a 6 - pulse ( ( Delta ) - connected ) TCR connected to a transmission line by means

2) Consider a 6-pulse (\(\Delta \)-connected) TCR connected to a transmission line by means of a \(500\mathrm{kV}\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{LL}}/18\mathrm{kV}\mathrm{VLL}\) coupling transformer. A) What should be the value of the required inductances so that the three-phase TCR can absorb a maximum of 60 MVAr ? B) How much reactive power would it absorb when the firing angle of the thyristors is \(150^{\circ}\)? C) Draw the following waveforms for \(\alpha=120^{\circ}\) : (i) line voltage in the output of the transformer, (ii) voltage across one inductor, (iii) voltage across the antiparallel thyristors and (iv) current through the inductor. Hint: consider the KVL for one "phase of the three-phase TCR." Now assume that 2 threephase Y-connected TSCs, rated at 30 MVA each, are placed in parallel with the TCR, in the secondary of the coupling transformer. D) What should be the value of the capacitances of each element of the TSCs? E) Assuming that the TSC was previously in service (Vcap not zero), draw the following waveforms when the thyristors of the TSC are not being fired: (i) voltage across one phase of the TSC (input voltage),(ii) voltage across one capacitor, (iii) voltage across the antiparallel thyristors. Identify the maximum voltage across the thyristors. Recall that the thyristors should be rated to withstand this voltage level. Hint: consider the KVL for one "phase of the three-phase TSC."
