FACTS
Flexible AC Transmission System (Facts) is a new integrated concept based on power electronic switching converters and dynamic controllers to enhance the system utilization and power transfer capacity as well as the stability, security, reliability and power quality of AC system interconnections.
The Power Filter Scheme
The power filter scheme consists of both a passive filter and active filter. The passive filter removes any load harmonics just as a conventional one does and the added active filter plays a role in improving the filtering action
CONCLUSION
The research investigates FACTS topologies & novel control strategies for voltage stability enhancement, T.L power flow control and harmonic/ SSR mode stabilization of an interconnected AC system.
The use of FACTS devices in renewable energy utilization is also studied for small Hydro/ Wind hybrid renewable energy scheme.
