FACTS APPLICATIONS IN POWER SYSTEMS
Abstract :
Due to many reasons such as, an increasing demand for energy, the constraints in the building of new transmission lines and the disadvantages of the conventional compensation devices, it has been necessary to maximize the efficiency of existing energy transmission systems. The analysis of the choices available for maximizing the existing energy transmission systems, solution has seen as the power electronics with high level of trustability and stability. The rapid development of the power electronics technology makes it possible the development of a new technology for the control of the power systems, called “Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS)”. In this study conventional thyristor based FACTS devices and converter based FACTS devices are investigated and compared against their configurations, their effects and aim of usage on power systems. In addition example of FACTS applications in real World are presented.
