Abstract
A system (100) for stabilising a power grid (102), comprising a generator (104), configured to provide power to the power grid (102), the power having an active power component and a reactive power component, and a power line (106), configured to transmit power from the generator (104) to the power grid (102). The system (100) comprises a thyristor controlled braking resistor (TCBR) (108) arranged on the power line (106), and a capacitor (110) electrically connected in series with the TCBR (108). The TCBR (108) absorbs at least a portion of the reactive power component from the generator (104) during a fault on the power line (106) and the capacitor (110) is configured to compensate for the at least a portion of the reactive power component absorbed by the TCBR (108).
