Abstract
Power electronics have become increasingly reliable and cost effective at the transmission voltage level. New applications of FACTS devices are just emerging, the thyristor controlled phase-angle regulator (TCPAR) being one of them. This paper identifies and discusses several gate control and system issues for application of a single core transformer thyristor controlled phase-angle regulator. Alternative TCPAR designs are proposed
