The purpose of the project is to improve the power factor of transmission line using static variable compensator. These were insufficient and because of large rotating parts they got damaged quickly. Static VAR Compensation under FACTS uses TSC (Thyristor Switched Capacitors) based on shunt compensation duly controlled from a programmed microcontroller. This proposed system demonstrates power factor compensation using Thyristor switched capacitors. The time lag between the zero voltage pulse and zero current pulse duly generated by suitable operational amplifier circuit in comparator mode are fed to interrupt pins of the 8 bit microcontroller of 8051 family.
