WHAT IS FACTS?
 FACTS- 'Flexible AC Transmission System'.
 Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) are the name
given to the application of power electronics devices to
control the power flows and other quantities in power
systems.
 FACTS is defined by the IEEE as "a power electronic
based system and other static equipment that provide
control of one or more AC transmission system
parameters to enhance controllability and increase
power transfer capability.“
 FACTS contains the design of the different schemes and
configurations of FACTS devices is based on the
combination of traditional power system components
(such as transformers, reactors, switches, and
capacitors) with power electronics elements (such as
various types of transistors and thyristors).

TYPES OF FACTS
CONTROLLER
Depending on the power electronic
devices used in the control, the FACTS
controllers can be classified as:
1. Variable Impedance Type: SVC &
TCSC2.
2. Voltage Source Converter (VSC) Type:
STATCOM, SSSC, UPFC
STATIC VARIABLE
COMPENSATOR (SVC)
 SVC is the First Generation FACTS Controller.
 SVC is a variable impedance device where the current
through a reactor is controlled using back to back
connected thyristor valves.
 The application of SVC is for load compensation of fast
changing loads.
 SVC provide dynamic power factor improvement.•
SVC can Improve stability with fast acting voltage
regulation.
 SVC can Control dynamic over voltages.
 A SVC has no inertia and can be extremely fast in
response. This enables the fast control of reactive
power in the control range.
 Ideally SVC should be located at the electrical centre
of the system or midpoint of a transmission line.
STATIC SYNCHRONOUS
COMPENSATOR (STATCOM)
 STATCOM is a 'Voltage Source Converter' based device.
 STATCOM is installed to support electricity networks
that have a poor power factor and often poor voltage
regulation.
 The voltage source is created from a DC capacitor and
therefore a STATCOM has very little active power
capability.
 If the terminal voltage of the VSC is higher than the AC
voltage at the point of connection, the STATCOM
generates reactive current.
 When the amplitude of the voltage source is lower
than the AC voltage, it absorbs reactive power.
 The response time of a STATCOM is shorter than that
of an SVC, mainly due to the fast switching times
provided by the IGBTs of the voltage source converter.
THYRISTOR CONTROLLED
SERIES COMPENSATOR (TCSC)
 TCSC is a series connected device.
 It is a variable impedance type device.
 It can affect active power flow.
 Its switching frequency is low compared
to other FACTS devices.
 Insertion of a capacitive reactance
inseries with the line's inherent
inductive reactance lowers the total
effective impedance of the line and thus
both angular and voltage
stability gets improved.
STATIC SYNCHRONOUS
SERIES COMPENSATOR (SSSC)
 It is a VSC based device.
 It is a series connected device.
 Must have higher rated transformer and
devices.
 Impacts active power flow.
 SSSC injects a reactive voltage (Vr) in
series with the line.
 An SSSC comprises a voltage source
inverter and a coupling transformer.
UNIFIED POWER FLOW
CONTROLLER(UPFC)
 It is the combination of STATCOM and SSSC.• It is a
VSC type device.
 Control Voltage, Impedance, and Phase angle.
 Impacts both active and reactive power flow in
transmission line.
 The shunt converter (STATCOM) is primarily used to
provide active power demand of the series
converter (SSSC) through a common DC link.
STATCOM can also generate or absorb reactive
power and thereby provide independent shunt
reactive compensation for the line.
 SSSC provides the main function of the UPFC by
injecting a voltage with controllable magnitude and
phase angle in series with the line via
an voltage source.

 In the conclusion, we came to know
about the different types of facts
