Flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS): Scoping study
- Power Technologies, Inc., Schenectady, NY (USA)
This is the first of two scoping studies of the Flexible ac Transmission System (FACTS). It investigates the possibility of using high speed thyristor based control of HVAC power system elements to enhance the carrying capacity of existing transmission circuits without compromising reliability. A study system representative of existing power systems were developed. The studies were conducted on this system to evaluate the economic and technical issues of loading transmission lines to their thermal limits. Two scenarios were considered, a multi-line corridor and a long radial interconnection. The issues addressed were transient and dynamic stability, loop flow control, power flow control, reactive support and voltage stability. 4 refs., 29 figs., 11 tabs.
