Modern Facts Devices and Its Compensation Techniques

This document discusses modern power transmission techniques and FACTS devices. It introduces that transmission line costs are affected by voltage level and power factor. FACTS devices like STATCOM and UPFC are used to regulate voltage and improve power factor by providing flexible shunt or series compensation. The STATCOM and SVC are examples of shunt FACTS controllers that are used for voltage regulation and power factor correction. Series FACTS controllers like UPFC allow functions like stability control. Dr. Narain Hingorani is recognized as pioneering the development of FACTS technology.

MODERN FACTS DEVICES AND

ITS COMPENSATION TECHNIQUES


Relation between cost and Power
Transmission
Area of the conductor is inversely proportional to squa
age transmitted and its power factor value

a 1 (VL2
*cos )

To lower cost we need two important


parameters
High Voltage in transmission lines
Power factor value nearer to one
How power factor of Transmission
line is affected?

esence of thick insulators and long transmission line

ere is improper distribution of load factors

r example -inductors are said toconsumereactive p


nd capacitors are said tosupplyit.

proper distribution of these loads causes power fact


rop below one.
POWER FACTOR CORRECTION IN LOADS

A high power factor is generally


desirable in a transmission system to
reduce transmission losses
For power factor correction , power
electronic devices such as the Static
VAR compensatororSTATCOMare
used.
These devices are called FACTS
Devices
Voltage Regulation and stability

How the Voltage in Transmission line


be controlled?
The control of voltage and reactive power is
a major issue in power system operation.
To reduce transmission losses and to
maintain the ability of the system to
withstand and prevent voltage collapse.
Reactive power is the very important
parameter to control the voltage in
transmission lines
History of FACTS Devices
Dr. Narain Hingorani is the father
of FACTS technology.

Voltage drop.
To compensate, series capacitors are
connected.
Capacitors add voltage to line
current.
Effect of Inductance thus eliminated.
SHUNT COMPENSATION

In case capacitance is prominent in


the transmission line we suffer low
current in transmission line.
To compensate, shunt inductors are
connected.
inductors add current to line voltage.
Effect of Capacitance thus
