Facts Technology in Power System

FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission System) uses power electronics-based devices to improve controllability, power transfer capability, and reliability in power transmission systems. There are several types of FACTS devices including STATCOM, SSSC, and UPFC. FACTS devices can improve power quality, reduce losses, and provide better damping to enhance stability. By dynamically controlling voltages and currents, FACTS maximizes the utilization of existing transmission infrastructure.

EXAMPLE:-

A.

Transmission system Without FACTS Devices

B. Transmission System With FACTS Devices

1. Shunt connected controllers (STATCOM) 2. Series connected controllers(SSSC 3. Combined shunt-series controllers (UPFC)

In a series compensation , the controller (variable impedance or variable voltage source or combination of both) is in series to the system. FACTS works as a controllable voltage source.

1. 2. 3.

Reduction of voltage fluctuation. Reduction of series voltage drop. Improvement of system damping.

In shunt compensation, the controller (variable impedance or variable voltage source or combination of both) is parallel to the system. FACTS works as a controllable current source.

1.

2. 3. 4.

Compensate the reactive power and hence reduce the losses Improvement in static and transient stability Improvement in power quality The net result improvement in power factor

It is a combination of series and shunt controllers. It is used to control both current and voltage in phase with the line.

Nowadays FACTS technology has been improving day by day so we reducing all losses in transmission system ,so increasing the transfer power capability and controllability .
