K. R. Padiyar, "Facts Controllers in Power Transmission Distribution"
New Age International | 2008 | ISBN: 1848290101 | 532 pages | File type: PDF | 5,1 mb
The
emerging technology of Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) enables
planning and operation of power systems at minimum costs, without
compromising security. This is based on modern high power electronic
systems that provide fast controllability to ensure 'flexible' operation
under changing system conditions. This book presents a comprehensive
treatment of the subject by discussing the operating principles,
mathematical models, control design and issues that affect the
applications. The concepts are explained often with illustrative
examples and case studies. In particular, the book presents an in-depth
coverage of:
Applications of SVC, TCSC, GCSC, SPST, STATCOM, SSSC, UPFC, IPFC and IPC for voltage/power control in transmission systems.
Application of DSTATCOM, DVR and UPQC for improving power quality in distribution systems.
Design of Power Oscillation Damping (POD) controllers.
Discrete control of FACTS for improving transient stability.
Mitigation of SSR using series FACTS Controllers.
Issues affecting control design such as electromagnetic and harmonic interactions.
The
book can serve as a text or reference for a course on FACTS
Controllers. It will also benefit researchers and practicing engineers
who wish to understand and apply FACTS technology.
