Thyristor-Based Facts Controllers for Electrical Transmission Systems

Despite the importance of this technology in the electrical power industry, there is a lack of appropriate texts, and none published in recent years. Recognizing the potential advantages of static reactive power compensators and their value to power utilities, universities are beginning to offer courses at the graduate/undergraduate level. · introduction. · reactor-power control in electrical power transmission systems. · principles of conventional reactive-power compensators. · svc control components and models. · concepts of svc voltage control. · applications. · the thyristor-controlled seriescapacitor (tcsc). · tcsc applications. · coordination of facts controllers. · emerging facts controllers.
