 FACTS - Flexible Alternating Current
Transmission System

• Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) simply refers to

a combination of power electronics components with traditional power
system components.

• Benefits....
 The general classification of these FACTS
devices is as
• Series controllers
• Shunt controllers
• Combined series-series controllers
• Combined series-shunt controllers
Static VAR Compensator
 Shunt controllers

The common Static VAR

compensators are:
• TCR – Thyristor controlled reactor.
• TSC – Thyristor switched capacitor.
TCR TSC
STATCOM
 Series Controllers

Types of controllers include:

• TCSC – Thyristor controlled series
capacitor.
• TCSR – Thyristor controlled series reactor.
• TSSC – Thyristor switched series
capacitor.
• TSSR – Thyristor switched series reactor.
Combined Series-Series Controllers
Combined Series-Shunt Controller
Sequentially Controlled TCR
 Conclusion
• The above discussion reflects various work that are covered in the area of
FACTS.
