Congestion Management and Loss Optimization with FACTS

This chapter focuses on power flow controlling FACTS-devices and their benefits in market environments. These devices have a significant influence on congestion management and loss reduction. Especially the speed of FACTS-devices provides an additional benefit in comparison to conventional power flow control methods. However, to earn these benefits a special post-contingency operation strategy has to be applied which will be explained in this chapter.
