UNIT I INTRODUCTION 9
Review of basics of power transmission networks-control of power flow in AC transmission line-Analysis
of uncompensated AC Transmission line- Passive reactive power compensation: Effect of series and
shunt compensation at the mid-point of the line on power transfer- Need for FACTS controllers- types of
FACTS controllers.

UNIT II STATIC VAR COMPENSATOR (SVC) AND APPLICATIONS 9
Overview of different types of SVC, Voltage control by SVC – Advantages of slope in dynamic
characteristics – Influence of SVC on system voltage – Design of SVC voltage regulator –Modelling of
SVC for power flow and fast transient stability – Applications: Enhancement of transient stability –
Steady state power transfer –Enhancement of power system damping.

UNIT III THYRISTOR AND GTO CONTROLLED SERIES CAPACITORS
(TCSC and GCSC) 9
Concepts of Controlled Series Compensation – Operation of TCSC and GCSC- Analysis of TCSC–
Modelling of TCSC for load flow studies- modelling TCSC for stability studies- Applications:
Improvement of the system stability limit – Enhancement of system damping.

UNIT IV VOLTAGE SOURCE CONVERTER BASED FACTS CONTROLLERS 9
Static synchronous compensator (STATCOM)- Static synchronous series compensator (SSSC)-Operation
of STATCOM and SSSC-Power flow control with STATCOM and SSSC-–operation of Unified and
Interline power flow controllers (UPFC and IPFC) –Dynamic voltage restorer (DVR), Unified power
quality conditioner (UPQC).

UNITV CO-ORDINATION OF FACTS CONTROLLERS 9
FACTS Controller interactions – SVC–SVC interaction - co-ordination of multiple controllers using
linear control techniques – Control coordination using genetic algorithms.
