    This document discusses Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) which use power electronics to control parameters of AC transmission systems and enhance power transfer capability. It describes several types of FACTS controllers including Static VAR Compensators (SVCs), Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitors (TCSCs), Static Synchronous Compensators (STATCOMs), and Unified Power Flow Controllers (UPFCs). SVCs provide fast reactive power support to regulate voltage while STATCOMs are used for voltage stability and reactive power support at low voltages. Overall, FACTS provide benefits like fast voltage regulation, increased power transfer over long lines, and improved stability and performance of transmission systems.

    Introduction

    Power transfer limits

    Power flow over a transmission system is limited by one or more of the following network
    characteristics:
    • Steady-State Power Transfer Limit
    • Voltage Stability Limit
    • Transient Stability Limit
    • Thermal Limit
    • Short-Circuit Current Limit

    FACTS are designed to remove such limitations and meet operators’ goals of AC transmission
    systems.
    Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS)

     AC transmission systems incorporating the power electronic-


    based to enhance controllability and increase power transfer
    capability.

     FACTS Controllers are power electronic based system & other


    static equipment that provide control of one or more AC
    transmission parameters.

     Purpose of FACTS : To supply the network as quick as possible


    with inductive or capacitive reactive power that is adopted for
    a particular requirement , while improving transmission quality
    and efficiency of the AC grid.
    Basic power compensation

    SVC applications
    SVCs are installed to perform the following functions:
     Dynamic voltage stabilization: increased power transfer capability,
    reduced voltage variation.
     Synchronous stability improvements: increased transient stability,
    improved power system damping
    • Dynamic load balancing
    • Steady-state voltage support
    FACTS CONTROLLERS
    STATCOM :

     A static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) also known as synchronous condenser.


     STATCOM is a regulating device used on alternating current electricity transmission networks .
     It is based on a power electronics voltage source converter.

    USES
    It is installed to support electricity networks that have a poor power factor and often poor
    voltage regulation

    Mostly used for voltage stability

    It is also provide better reactive power support at low AC voltage

    The current can be maintained at rated value even down to low AC voltages
    Controllable parameters

     Control of the line impedance: current and active power control


     Control of angle: current and active power control
     Series voltage injection: Current, active, and reactive power control
     Parallel voltage injection: Current, active, and reactive power control
    Features of Flexible AC Transmission Systems FACTS:

     Fast Voltage regulation


     Increased power transfer over long AC lines.
     Damping of active power oscillations
     Load flow control in meshed systems, thereby significantly
    improving the stability and performance of transmission
    lines.
