thyristor-controlled series compensator
a capacitor bank installed in series with an electric power transmission line in which each capacitor is placed in parallel with a thyristor device. Each capacitor may thus be switched in or out of the line for some variable portion of the AC cycle so as to maintain the line's maximum power-carrying ability under varying load conditions.
