Figure 79: TCSC wave forms presented in capacitive boost mode for a typical 50Hz
system
The apparent impedance of the TCSC (the impedance seen by the power system) can
typically be increased to up to 3 times the physical impedance of the capacitor, see figure
80. This high apparent reactance will mainly be used for damping of power oscillations.
