Abstract :
FACTS (flexible AC transmission systems) devices are today a well known technology and the existing installations give some good examples of the state of the art of such power electronics based devices. It will be expected that such technology could also be used to solve problems in the distribution system caused by a high penetration level of distributed generation (DG). The aim of this paper is to outline possible applications of the existing FACTS into the distribution system. So taking the experience from a flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) to a flexible AC distribution system (FACDS).
