In this paper, a new power flow model for active power flow control through a thyristor-controlled series compensator (TCSC) in an AC network system is proposed. The proposed power flow model is based on the Newton-Raphson method. In this model, TCSC's admittance effect is included as a state variable into the Jacobian matrix to avoid the divergence problem. Unlike similar studies in the literature, TCSC's admittance is ignored in the bus admittance matrix, and the need for rebuilding the bus admittance matrix in each power flow iteration caused by the change of TCSC's admittance is prevented. So, faster convergence for power flow calculation is achieved. For this aim, new power equations are obtained. Also, in the proposed approach, we need not consider each terminal of TCSC as an individual bus in the power flow calculation. Thus, increasing the Jacobian and bus admittance matrixes sizes caused by the total bus number is prevented. The proposed approach is tested on an IEEE 57-bus test system. The obtained results prove that this approach provides efficient, reliable, and fast convergence.
