Power quality issues such as voltage sags, swells, and harmonic distortions pose significant challenges to the stability and efficiency of grid-connected systems. This study presents a simulation and analysis of a Thyristor-Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) for mitigating voltage sags and swells, thereby enhancing overall power quality. A grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system integrated with a TCSC is modelled and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink to evaluate its performance under diverse operating conditions. The TCSC dynamically adjusts its series compensation to regulate voltage levels, ensuring stable and reliable operation. Results indicate that incorporating TCSC significantly reduces voltage disturbances and enhances power quality by maintaining voltage profiles within acceptable limits. This research underscores the importance of advanced compensation techniques like TCSC in modern grid-connected systems, contributing to improved efficiency, reliability, and resilience in power distribution networks. The findings provide a basis for further development of smart grids integrating renewable energy sources and advanced control mechanisms.

Keywords: Thyristor-Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC), Grid-Connected Systems, Power Quality Improvement, Voltage Sags and Swells, Harmonic Mitigation
