Abstract :
Dynamic regulation models for voltage-sourced converter (VSC) based flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) controllers are described in this paper. The dynamic models can then be used to analyze these FACTS controller´s capability to improve the capability of a power transfer path. The contributions of this paper include showing that the benefits of FACTS controllers are proportional to the MVA ratings and the benefits of multiple FACTS controllers are cumulative. Furthermore, the coupling of dc buses allowing active power circulation between multiple VSC FACTS controllers may offer additional improvement in transfer capability.
