| Abstract: |
This chapter presents Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) and explains how FACTS enhance the control, stability, and power transfer capability of transmission systems. Two major families of FACTS devices are introduced: Thyristor-controlled devices, and Power converter-controlled devices. From the first family, the following are presented: Static Var Compensator (SVC), Thyristor-Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC), and Static Phase Angle Regulator (SPAR). From the second family, the following are presented: Controlled Synchronous Compensator, Controlled Series Synchronous Compensator, and Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC). To facilitate understanding of FACTS, the chapter first covers: Power flow calculation in an electrical power system, Calculation of maximum transferable power for constant load voltage, Calculation of maximum transferable power for load with constant power factor, and Study of transient stability of the power system using the equal area criterion.
