Simulation and Performance Analysis of FACTS Controllers in Transmission line
Keywords:
FACTS, FC-TCR, STATCOM, TCSCAbstract
Now a day, Electrical engineers are currently facing challenges to enhance the power transfer capabilities of
existing transmission system.This is where the Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) technology comes into
effect.FACTS devices use power electronic components to improve system performance. FACTS devices are able to control
all the parameters which affecting the power flow in transmission line. This paper represents the comparison between the
uncompensated system and compensated system using FACTS devices. Simulation and performance analysis of Fixed
Capacitor Thyristor Controlled Reactor (FC-TCR), Static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) andThyristor controlled
Series Capacitor (TCSC) have been presented in this paper. All the simulations are carried out by using
MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
