AGC and FACTS stabilization device coordination in interconnected power system control

The FACTS device like TCPAR can be used to regulate the power flow in the tie-lines of interconnected power system. When TCPAR is equipped with power regulator and frequency-based stabiliser it can also significantly influence the power flow in the transient states occurring after power disturbances. In the case of simple interconnected power system, consisting of two power systems the control of TCPAR can force a good damping of both power swings and oscillations of local frequency. In the case of larger interconnected power system consisting of more than two power systems the influence of the control of TCPAR on damping can be more complicated. Strong damping of local frequency oscillations and power swings in one tie-line may cause larger oscillations in remote tie-lines and other systems. Hence, using devices like TCPAR as a tool for damping of power swings and frequency oscillations in a large interconnected power system must be justified by detailed analysis of power system dynamics.
