This book introduces FACTS controllers and offers solutions to control and flow of power. FACTS is a technological innovation that enhances the controllability of transmission power grids and increases their transfer capacity. It serves as an instructional guide with instructions on modeling, designing, building, evaluating, and installing FACTS devices. The book offers insight into theoretical fundamentals, an evolution of their application, as well as information about selecting appropriate devices and working with them.
The authors have been involved in FACTS research and development for two decades, sharing their expertise and illustrating their pioneering designs. Detailed instruction on key aspects of FACTs controllers, ranging from basic principles to sample examples, help the reader gain confidence in implementing this technology. Meanwhile, key differences between the voltage-regulating transformer and other types of FACTS models are explained. Readers also learn about three basic FACTS controllers: STATCOM, SSS, and UP, and mastering techniques for each one. In addition, this publication includes a description of a new FACTS device developed by theauthors, the SenTransformer. As an essential resource for power engineers worldwide, The introduction to FACTS controllers provides crucial knowledge on grid congestion issues and power limitations within transmission grids. The appendix and accompanying FTP site contain additional features and details, making it necessary reading for anyone dealing with electrical energy transmission systems.

Описание книги от Mey Sen Ling
Demystifies FACTS controllers, offering solutions to power control and power flow problems Flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) controllers represent one of the most important technological advances in recent years, both enhancing controllability and increasing power transfer capacity of electric power transmission networks. This timely publication serves as an applications manual, offering readers clear instructions on how to model, design, build, evaluate, and install FACTS controllers. Authors Kalyan Sen and Mey Ling Sen share their two decades of experience in FACTS controller research and implementation, including their own pioneering FACTS design breakthroughs. Readers gain a solid foundation in all aspects of FACTS controllers, including: Basic underlying theories Step-by-step evolution of FACTS controller development Guidelines for selecting the right FACTS controller Sample computer simulations in EMTP programming language Key differences in modeling such FACTS controllers as the voltage regulating transformer, phase angle regulator, and unified power flow controller Modeling techniques and control implementations for the three basic VSC-based FACTS controllers—STATCOM, SSSC, and UPFC In addition, the book describes a new type of FACTS controller, the Sen Transformer, which is based on technology developed by the authors. An appendix presents all the sample models that are discussed in the book, and the accompanying FTP site offers many more downloadable sample models as well as the full-color photographs that appear throughout the book. This book is essential reading for practitioners and students of power engineering around the world, offering viable solutions to the increasing problems of grid congestion and power flow limitations in electric power transmission systems.
