About this document

Overview of Flexible AC Transmission Systems by Melissa Miller is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document provides an overview of Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) which use power electronics to control AC transmission systems and increase power transfer capability. It discusses constraints on transmission capacity such as stability and voltage issues. It describes several FACTS controllers including STATCOM, TCSC, and UPFC. It then gives examples of FACTS installations in the US and explains how FACTS controllers like UPFC can control voltage, impedance, and power flow to increase transmis
