Review on the Research and Developments of FACTS Controller in Improving Power System Stability

Now-a-days it is becoming very difficult to fully utilize the existing transmission system assets due to various reasons, such as environmental legislation, capital investment, rights of ways issues, construction cost of new lines, deregulation policies, e tc. Electric utilities are now forced to operate their system in such a way that makes better utilization of existing transmission facilities. Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) controllers, based on the rapid development of power electronics technology, have been proposed in recent years for better utilization of existing transmission facilities. With the development of FACTS technique, it becomes possible to increase the power flow controllability and enhance power system's stability. This paper presents a comprehensive review on the research and developments FACTS controller in improving power system stability.
