INTRODUCTION

FACTS devices
 FACTS stands for “flexible alternating
current transmission system”

 It is a static equipment used for AC

transmission of ELECTRICAL ENERGY

 It is a power electronic based device

EHV LINES
 Extra-high-voltage (EHV) transmission is
defined as between 365kV and 1000kV for
AC. 
 EHV lines are used to move large amounts of
power across long distances.
 The higher the voltage, the lower the losses.
 In addition, by being able to move more
power across one line, fewer
overall lines are needed for transmission
ROLE OF FACTS DEVICES
 Gives Protection to EHV transmission lines
 Improving Power Factor
 Reactive Power Can Be Control
NEED OF FACTS DEVICES
 For fast response
 More reliable than mechanical system
 More efficient

SERIES CONNECTED CONTROLLER
 Series Controllers consists of capacitors or
reactors which introduce voltage in series
with the line. They are basically variable
impedance devices. Their major task is to
reduce the inductivity of the transmission
line. They supply or consume variable
reactive power. Examples of series
controllers are SSSC, TCSC, TSSC etc.

SHUNT CONNECTED CONTROLLER
 Shunt controllers consist of variable
impedance devices like capacitors or
reactors which introduce current in series
with the line. Their major task is to reduce
the capacitivity of the transmission line. The
injected current is in phase with the line
voltage. Examples of shunt controllers are
STATCOM, TSR, TSC, SVC.

COMBINED SERIES-SERIES
CONTROLLER
 These controllers consist of a combination of
series controllers with each controller
providing series compensation and also the
transfer real power along the line. Example
is IPFC.
DIAGRAM OF COMBINED
SERIES-SERIES CONTROLLER
COMBINED SHUNT-SERIES
CONTROLLER
 These controllers introduce current in series
using the series controllers and voltage in
shunt using the shunt controllers. Example is
UPFC.
  It controls all the parameters of the AC
power transmission.

ADVANTAGES OF
FACTS DEVICES
 1. FACTS increase the reliability of AC grids.
 2. They reduce power delivery costs.
 3. They supply inductive or reactive power to
the grid and improve transmission quality
and efficiency of power transmission.
 4. There is fast voltage regulation.
LIMITATIONS OF
FACTS DEVICES
 1. A limited amount of power can be sent
over a transmission line.
 2. Conductors and equipment may be
damaged by overheating if too much current
is drawn.
