Abstract

Flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) devices are power electronics based shunt or series devices that are connected to the power network and can improve the system performance and the quality of supply. Application of three types of FACTS devices, a STATCOM, a SCRC and a UPFC, is studied in a 45 bus multimachine power system, as part of the Brazilian power system. The system is exposed to various transient and dynamic disturbances, and the performance of the system reinforced with the FACTS devices is compared with the original system. Simulation results are provided that indicate the effectiveness of these FACTS devices in the overall system behaviour
