A review on various application of several FACTS Controller

electrical engineering

Economic growth of the country is directly depicted with the development of electric power sector. As electricity demand continues to rise, there is an immediate need to increase the quality and reliability of today's highly complex power systems. Traditional power flows from power stations to the nearest big city are giving way to more complex patterns. Growth in the use of renewable sources also becomes a problem, as these generations are often located in remote regions where the power grid is traditionally weak. Construction of new transmission systems is not always the best option due to environmental crisis, land use, permit granting and cost considerations. In these aspects Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) technology with relatively low investment, compared to new transmission or generation facilities allows the industries to enhance power system performance, improve quality of supply and also provide an optimal utilization of the existing resources. This paper discuss about the various FACTS Controller used for different purposes.
