Description

Modern power systems' transmission networks are under increasing strain as a result of rising demand and limits on the construction of additional lines. The risk of losing stability after a disruption is one result of such a strained system. In order to better utilize a transmission network's current facilities while maintaining the appropriate stability margin, flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) devices are shown to be equally effective. In order to control voltage and power flow in electric power transmission systems, Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) controllers, like Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) and Static VAR Compensator (SVC), use the most recent power electronic switching technology. These devices also play a significant role as a stability aid for and transient disturbances in an interconnected power systems. Examine SVC and STATCOM behavior in the electric power system is shown. Its foundation is analytical and simulation analysis and its recommendations may be applied to the power sector.
