1. What is Effective Reactance in GCSC?

Effective Reactance in GCSC (GTO Controlled Series Capacitor) is defined as the type of Flexible AC Transmission System device used for dynamic control of the power system. It represents the equivalent reactance offered by the GCSC device in the power system.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Effective Reactance in GCSC formula:

\[ X_{gcsc} = \frac{X_C}{\pi} \times (\delta_{ha} - \sin(\delta_{ha})) \]

Where:

\( X_{gcsc} \) — Effective Reactance in GCSC (Ohm)
\( X_C \) — Capacitive Reactive (Ohm)
\( \delta_{ha} \) — Hold off Angle in GCSC (Radian)
\( \pi \) — Archimedes' constant (approximately 3.14159)
\( \sin \) — Sine trigonometric function

Explanation: The formula calculates the effective reactance based on the capacitive reactance and the hold off angle, which determines the timing of the GCSC's activation and deactivation within each AC cycle.

3. Importance of Effective Reactance Calculation

Details: Accurate calculation of effective reactance is crucial for power system stability, dynamic control of power flow, and optimization of Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices in electrical networks.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter capacitive reactive in Ohms and hold off angle in radians. Both values must be valid positive numbers.
