FACTS Fundamentals
Tuesday, 20 April, 2010 3:15 PM-5:15 PM    
Sponsored By: Transmission and Distribution CommitteeSession
Chair: Brian Johnson, University of Idaho

Panel Summary: FACTS Controllers are power electronic-based circuit configurations applied in ac transmission systems. The term represents flexible ac transmission systems, flexible implying controllability of voltage and/or current. Shunt configurations can provide voltage/reactive power control, series configurations can provide current/power flow control. Combined series/shunt configurations can provide all of the above. This session introduces fundamental concepts of FACTS controllers but not by a deluge of complicated circuits. Rather, the limitations and controllability of ac systems will be presented, with the basic FACTS attributes and configurations along with examples from existing installation to demonstrate their performance followed by a planners perspective on the implementation of several existing projects. The presentations are tutorial in nature and do not presume familiarity with power electronics.  It is intended that these sessions will provide the background material that enables attendees to proceed comfortably to the more technically advanced presentations in this conference.

To achieve operational reliability it has become clear that more efficient utilization and control of the existing transmission system infrastructure is required. Power electronics based equipment–including traditional equipment applied in new ways–has been termed Flexible AC Transmission Systems-FACTS, and can provide proven technical solutions to address these new operating challenges being presented today. FACTS technologies allow for improved transmission system operation with minimal infrastructure investment, environmental impact, and implementation time compared to the construction of new transmission lines. This 2-part Panel Session presents and explores several recent successful applications of FACTS/Power Electronic equipment.
