The reason, therefore, that some intuitive minds are not mathematical is that they
cannot at all turn their attention to the principles of mathematics. But the reason
that mathematicians are not intuitive is that they do not see what is before them,
and that, accustomed to the exact and plain principles of mathematics, and not
reasoning till they have well inspected and arranged their principles, they are
lost in matters of intuition where the principles do not allow of such
arrangement. They are scarcely seen; they are felt rather than seen; there is the
greatest difficulty in making them felt by those who do not of themselves perceive
them. These principles are so fine and so numerous that a very delicate and very
clear sense is needed to perceive them, and to judge rightly and justly when they
are perceived, without for the most part being able to demonstrate them in order
as in mathematics, because the principles are not known to us in the same way,
and because it would be an endless matter to undertake it. We must see the matter
at once, at one glance, and not by a process of reasoning, at least to a certain
degree.

The Concept
A transmission system can carry power up to its thermal loading limits. But in practice the
system has the following constraints:
-Transmission stability limits
-Voltage limits
-Loop flows
Transmission stability limits: limits of transmittable power with which a transmission system can
ride through major faults in the system with its power transmission capability intact.
Voltage limits: limits of power transmission where the system voltage can be kept within
permitted deviations from nominal. Voltage is governed by reactive power (Q). Q in its turn
depends of the physical length of the transmission circuit as well as from the flow of active
power. The longer the line and/or the heavier the flow of active power, the stronger will be the
flow of reactive power, as a consequence of which the voltage will drop, until, at some critical
level, the voltage collapses altogether.
Loop flows can be a problem as they are governed by the laws of nature which may not be
coincident with the contracted path. This means that power which is to be sent from point ”A” to
point ”B” in a grid will not necessarily take the shortest, direct route, but will go uncontrolled
P. Ribeiro

and fan out to take unwanted paths available
in the grid.

The Concept
FACTS devices
FACTS are designed to remove such constraints and to meet planners´, investors´ and operators´ goals
without their having to undertake major system additions. This offers ways of attaining an increase of
power transmission capacity at optimum conditions, i.e. at maximum availability, minimum
transmission losses, and minimum environmental impact. Plus, of course, at minimum investment cost
and time expenditure.
The term ”FACTS” covers several power electronics based systems used for AC power transmission.
Given the nature of power electronics equipment, FACTS solutions will be particularly justifiable in
applications requiring one or more of the following qualities:
-Rapid dynamic response
-Ability for frequent variations in output
-Smoothly adjustable output.
Important applications in power transmission involving FACTS and Power Quality devices:
SVC (Static Var Compensators), Fixed * as well as Thyristor-Controlled Series Capacitors (TCSC) and
Statcom. Still others are PST (Phase-shifting Transformers), IPC (Interphase Power Controllers), UPFC
(Universal Power Flow Controllers), and DVR (Dynamic Voltage Restorers).

History, Concepts, Background, and Issues
Origin of FACTS
-Oil Embargo of 1974 and 1979

Why we need transmission interconnection
-Pool power plants and load centers to minimize generation cost
-Important in a deregulated environment
Opportunities for FACTS

System Architectures and Limitations
The relative importance of transmission interconnection
Interconnections in a European type system are not very important because the system is built by
providing generation close to the loads and therefore, transmission is mainly for emergency
conditions.
In the US,very large power plants far from the load centers were built to bring "coal or water by
wire". Large plants provided the best solution - economy of scale. Also, seasonal power exchanges
have been used to the economic advantage of the consumers.
Newer generation technologies favor smaller plants which can be located close to the loads and
therefore, reduces the need for transmission. Also, if distributed generation takes off, then generation
will be much closer to the loads which would lessen the need for transmission even further.
However, for major market players, once the plant is built, the transmission system is the only way to
bring power to the consumer that is willing to pay the most for the power. That is, without
transmission, we will not get a well functioning competitive market for power.

Planing Studies
Evaluate the technical and economic benefits of a range of FACTS alternative solutions which may allow
enhancement of power transfer across weak transmission links. Part I of this effort should concentrate on
preliminary feasibility studies to assess the technical merits of alternative solutions to correct real and
reactive power transfer ratings, system voltage profiles, operational effects on the network, equipment
configurations, etc.
A - Load flow studies will be performed to establish steady-state ratings, and identify the appropriate
locations for connection of alternative compensation devices. Load flow studies will be used to address
the following:
•System Criteria (maximum steady-state power transfers, short-term operating limits, etc.)
•Controller Enhancements (controller types, ratings, sensitivities, etc.)
•Controller Losses (based on operating points and duration)
•System Losses (system losses base on controller operating point and duration)
•Overvoltsages ((steady-state and short-term voltage insulation requirements)
•Compare technical and economic benefits of alternatives
•Identify interconnection points
•Identify critical system contingencies
•Establish power transfer capability of the transmission system
•Confirm that reliability criteria can be met
•Identify the cost of capital of equipment and losses
•Identify steady-state and dynamic characteristics of FACTS controllers

FACTS Technology - Possible Benefits
• Control of power flow as ordered. Increase the loading capability of lines to their
thermal capabilities, including short term and seasonal.
• Increase the system security through raising the transient stability limit, limiting
short-circuit currents and overloads, managing cascading blackouts and
damping electromechanical oscillations of power systems and machines.
• Provide secure tie lines connections to neighboring utilities and regions thereby
decreasing overall generation reserve requirements on both sides.
• Provide greater flexibility in siting new generation.
• Reduce reactive power flows, thus allowing the lines to carry more active power.
• Reduce loop flows.
• Increase utilization of lowest cost generation.

Connecting AC systems of different or incompatible frequencies
Large market potential for FACTS is within the ac system on a value-added basis, where:
• The existing steady-state phase angle between bus nodes is reasonable
• The cost of a FACTS device solution is lower than HVDC or other alternatives
• The required FACTS controller capacity is less than 100% of the transmission throughput rating

The alternative solutions need to be distributed; often series compensation has to be installed in several places along a line but many of the
other alternatives would put both voltage support and power flow control in the same location. This may not be useful. For instance, if
voltage support were needed at the midpoint of a line, an IPFC would not be very useful at that spot. TCSC for damping oscillations ...

FACTS For Optimizing Grid Investments
FACTS Devices Can Delay Transmission Lines Construction
By considering series compensation from the very beginning, power transmission between regions can be
planned with a minimum of transmission circuits, thus minimizing costs as well as environmental impact
from the start.
The Way to Proceed
· Planners, investors and financiers should issue functional specifications for the transmission system
to qualified contractors, as opposed to the practice of issuing technical specifications, which are
often inflexible, and many times include older technologies and techniques) while inviting bids for a
transmission system.
· Functional specifications could lay down the power capacity, distance, availability and reliability
requirements; and last but not least, the environmental conditions.
· Manufacturers should be allowed to bid either a FACTS solution or a solution involving the
building of (a) new line(s) and/or generation; and the best option chosen.

Cost structure
The cost of a FACTS installation depends on many factors, such as power rating, type of device, system
voltage,
system requirements, environmental conditions, regulatory requirements etc. On top of this, the variety of
options available for optimum design renders it impossible to give a cost figure for a FACTS installation.
It is strongly recommended that contact is taken with a manufacturer in order to get a first idea of costs and
alternatives. The manufacturers should be able to give a budgetary price based on a brief description of the
transmission system along with the problem(s) needing to be solved and the improvement(s) needing to be
attained.

Operation and Maintenance
Operation of FACTS in power systems is coordinated with operation of other items in the
same system, for smooth and optimum function of the system. This is achieved in a
natural way through the Central Power System Control, with which the FACTS device(s)
is (are) communicating via system SCADA. This means that each FACTS device in the
system can be operated from a central control point in the grid, where the operator will
have skilled human resources available for the task. The FACTS device itself is normally
unmanned, and there is normally no need for local presence in conjunction with FACTS
operation, although the device itself may be located far out in the grid.
Maintenance is usually done in conjunction with regular system maintenance, i.e.
normally once a year. It will require a planned standstill of typically a couple of days.
Tasks normally to be done are cleaning of structures and porcelains, exchanging of
mechanical seals in pump motors, checking through of capacitors, checking of control and
protective settings, and similar. It can normally be done by a crew of 2-3 people with
engineer´s skill.

Impact of FACTS in interconnected networks
The benefits of power system interconnection are well established. It enables the participating parties to
share the benefits of large power systems, such as optimization of power generation, utilization of
differences in load profiles and pooling of reserve capacity. From this follows not only technical and
economical benefits, but also environmental, when for example surplus of clean hydro resources from one
region can help to replace polluting fossil-fuelled generation in another.
For interconnections to serve their purpose, however, available transmission links must be powerful
enough to safely transmit the amounts of power intended. If this is not the case, from a purely technical
point of view it can always be remedied by building additional lines in parallel with the existing, or by
uprating the existing system(s) to a higher voltage. This, however, is expensive, time-consuming, and calls
for elaborate procedures for gaining the necessary permits. Also, in many cases, environmental
considerations, popular opinion or other impediments will render the building of new lines as well as
uprating to ultrahigh system voltages impossible in
practice. This is where FACTS comes in.
Examples of successful implementation of FACTS for power system interconnection can be found among
others between the Nordic Countries, and between Canada and the United States. In such cases, FACTS
helps to enable mutually beneficial trade of electric energy between the countries.
Other regions in the world where FACTS is emerging as a means for AC bulk power interchange between
regions can be found in South Asia as well as in Africa and Latin America. In fact, AC power corridors
equipped with SVC and/or SC transmitting bulk power over distances of more than 1.000 km are a reality
today.

Conclusions
Power supply industry is undergoing dramatic change as a result of deregulation and
political and economical maneuvers. This new market environment puts demands for
flexibility and power quality into focus. Also, trade between companies and countries
of electric power is gaining momentum, to the benefit of all involved. This calls for the
right solutions as far as power transmission facilities between countries as well as
between regions within countries are concerned.
FACTS Benefits included:
-An increase of synchronous stability of the grid;
-An increased voltage stability in the grid;
-Decreased power wheeling between different power systems;
-Improved load sharing between parallel circuits;
-Decreased overall system transmission losses;
-Improved power quality in grids.
•The choice of FACTS device is simple and needs to be made the subject of detailed
system studies, taking all relevant requirements and prerequisites of the system into
consideration, so as to arrive at the optimum technical and economical solution. In
fact, the best solution may often be lying in a combination of devices.
P. Ribeiro
June, 2002
80
Conclusions
From an economical point of view, more power can be transmitted over existing or
new transmission grids with unimpeded availability at an investment cost and
time expenditure lower, or in cases even far lower than it would cost to achieve the
same with more extensive grids. Also, in many cases, money can be saved on a
decrease of
power transmission losses.
From an environmental point of view, FACTS enables the transmission of power
over vast distances with less or much less right-of-way impact than would
otherwise be possible. Furthermore, the saving in transmission losses may well
bring a corresponding decrease in need for generation, with so much less toll on
the environment.
All these things help to enable active, useful power to reach out in growing
quantities to growing populations under safe and favorable conditions all over the
world. Also, individual countries´ own border lines no longer constitute any limit
to power industry. With FACTS, power trade to the benefit of many can be
established to a growing extent across June,
borders,
by making more efficient use of
P. Ribeiro

interconnections between countries, new as well as existing.
81
Conclusions
A Balanced and Cautious Application
The acceptance of the new tools and technologies will take time, due to the
computational requirements and educational barriers.
The flexibility and adaptability of these new techniques indicate that they
will become part of the tools for solving power quality problems in this
increasingly complex electrical environment.
The implementation and use of these advanced techniques needs to be done
with much care and sensitivity. They should not replace the engineering
understanding of the electromagnetic nature of the problems that need to
be solved.
