FACTS

FACTS L T P 3 0 0 Objective & Outcome of learning To impart advanced knowledge about the FACTS - systems involving their applications in long Bulk power Transmission line, in distribution systems, in custom Power and improving stability & voltage profile in power system. This is a new technology which has found acceptance in Power Industry. At the end of the course the student should be able to design power and distribution system using various FACT devices.

1. Basic Issues Involved in Bulk Power Transmission:

Angle stability, voltage stability, power flow control and sub-synchronous resonance (SSR).

2. Basic Issues Involved in Power distribution Systems:

Harmonics, load unbalance, poor powerfactor and voltage interruptions.

3. Introduction of Basic FACTS devices:

SVC, STATCOM,TCSC, SSSC and UPFC. Introduction to concepts of Custom Power (CP) devices

4. Introduction to CP devices:

DSTATCOM, DVR, UPQC. Modeling of SVC, STATCOM,TCSC, SSSC and UPFC.

5. Case Study DSTATCOM in Current Control Mode:Reference current generation techniques.

DSTATCOM in voltage control Mode: Reference voltage generation, DVRreference voltage generation.
