Introduction
The increasing Industrialization, urbanization of life
style has lead to increasing dependency on the
electrical energy. This has resulted into rapid growth
of PSs. This rapid growth has resulted into few
uncertainties. Power disruptions and individual
power outages are one of the major problems and
affect the economy of any country. In contrast to the
rapid changes in technologies and the power required
by these technologies, transmission systems are being
pushed to operate closer to their stability limits and at
the same time reaching their thermal limits due to the
fact that the delivery of power have been increasing.
The major problems faced by power industries in
establishing the match between supply and demand
are:
 Transmission & Distribution; supply the
electric demand without exceeding the
thermal limit.
 In large PS, stability problems causing power
disruptions and blackouts leading to huge
losses.
These constraints affect the quality of power delivered.
However, these constraints can be suppressed by
enhancing the PS control. One of the best methods for
reducing these constraints is FACTS devices. With the
rapid development of power electronics, FACTS
devices have been proposed and implemented in PSs.
FACTS devices can be utilized to control power flow
and enhance system stability. Particularly with the
deregulation of the electricity market, there is an
increasing interest in using FACTS devices in the
operation and control of PSs. A better utilization of the
existing PSs to increase their capacities and
controllability by installing FACTS devices becomes
imperative. FACTS devices are cost effective
alternatives to new transmission line construction.
Due to the present situation, there are two main
aspects that should be considered in using FACTS
devices: The first aspect is the flexible power system
operation according to the power flow control
capability of FACTS devices. The other aspect is the
improvement of transient and SSVS of PSs. FACTS
devices are the right equipment to meet these
challenges.
Definition of FACTS
According to IEEE, FACTS, which is the abbreviation
of Flexible AC Transmission Systems, is defined as
follows:
“Alternating current transmission systems incorporating
power electronics based and other static controllers to
enhance controllability and APTC”.
Since the ʺother static controllersʺ based FACTS
devices are not widely used in current PSs, the
focused only on the power electronics based FACTS
devices. The FACTS controllers are classified as
follows:
 Thyristor controlled based FACTS controllers
such as TSC, TCR, FC‐TCR, SVC, TCSC, TC‐
PAR etc.
 VSI based FACTS controllers such as SSSC,
STATCOM, UPFC, GUPFC, IPFC, GIPFC,
HPFC etc.
The main drawback of thyristor controlled based
FACTS controllers is the resonance phenomena occurs
but VSI based FACTS controllers are free from this
phenomena. So that the overall performance of VSI
based FACTS controllers are better than of that the
thyristor controlled based FACTS controllers.
FACTS Categories and Their Functions
1) FACTS Categories
In general, FACTS devices can be divided into four
categories on basis of their connection diagram in PSs
mentioned in table 1:
1) Series Connected ‐FACTS Devices:
Series FACTS devices could be variable impedance,
such as capacitor, reactor, etc., or power electronics
based variable source of main frequency, sub
synchronous and harmonic frequencies (or a
combination) to serve the desired need. In principle,
all series FACTS devices inject voltage in series
with the transmission line.
2) Shunt Connected ‐FACTS Devices:
Shunt FACTS devices may be variable impedance,
variable source, or a combination of these. They
inject current into the system at the point of
connection.

3) Possible Benefits from FACTS Technology
Within the basic system security guidelines, the
FACTS devices enable the transmission system to
obtain one or more of the following benefits:
 Control of power flow as ordered. This is the
main function of FACTS devices. The use of
power flow control may be to follow a
contract, meet the utilities’ own needs, ensure
optimum power flow, ride through
emergency conditions, or a combination of
them.

 Increase utilization of lowest cost generation.
One of the principal reasons for transmission
interconnections is to utilize the lowest cost
generation. When this cannot be done, it
follows that there is not enough cost‐effective
transmission capacity. Cost‐effective
enhancement of capacity will therefore allow
increased use of lowest cost generation.
 DS enhancement. This FACTS additional
function includes the TS improvement, POD
and VS control.
 Increase the loading capability of lines to their
thermal capabilities, including short term and
seasonal demands.
 Increased system reliability.
 Elimination or deferral of the need for new
transmission lines.
 Added flexibility in siting new generation
 Provide secure tie‐line connections to
neighboring utilities and regions thereby
decreasing overall generation reserve
requirements on both sides.
 Upgrade of transmission lines.
 Increased system security.
 Reduce RP flows, thus allowing the lines to
carry more AP.
 Loop flow control.
The various FACTS Controllers are proposed in
literature includes First Generation [1]‐[58], Second
Generation [59]‐[225], and Third Generation of FACTS
Controllers [226]‐[232].
This paper is organized as follows: Section II discusses
the classification of FACTS Controllers on basis of
their generation wise. Section III presents the
summary of the paper. Section IV presents the
conclusions of the paper.
Classification of FACTS Controllers
Three broad categories of FACTS Controllers are on
basis of their generation wise such as first, second, and
third generation of FACTS controllers are as follows:
First Generation of FACTS Controllers
The first generation of FACTS controllers is classified
as following categories:

197
1) Series Connected ‐FACTS Controllers:
The series FACTS controllers are classified as
following categories:
2) TCSC
The following performance parameter of systems as
follows:
1) RP
Multi objective optimal RP flow considering
FACTS technology is becoming one of the most
important issues in PS planning and control. In (N.
Mancer, 2012), has been presented a new variant of
PSO with time varying acceleration coefficients to
solve multi objective optimal RP flow (power loss
minimization and voltage deviation). The
proposed algorithm is used to adjust dynamically
the parameters setting of TCSC in coordination
with voltages of generating units.
2) VS
TCSC has been proposed to enhance the VS by
changing the RP distribution in the PS. In (Garng
Huang), has been discussed the effect of TCSC on
SSVS and small‐signal VS. Also discussed the
TCSC’s enhancement on transient VS. A TCSC
model that is suitable for transient VS analysis is
proposed in literature. The Line stability Index LSI
(Gaber El‐Saady, 2012) under excepted lines outage
contingencies is used to identify the critical line
which is considered as the best location for TCSC.
A modal analysis is used to define the weakest bus
of the studied system. The FACTS device is
implemented and included into the NRFL
algorithm, and the control function is formulated
to achieve the VS enhancement goal.
3) TS
In (Siddhart Panda, 2007), has been suggested a
procedure for modelling and tuning the
parameters of TCSC in a multi‐machine PS to
improve TS. First a simple transfer function model
of TCSC controller for stability improvement is
developed and the parameters of the proposed
controller are optimally tuned GA is employed for
the optimization of the parameter‐constrained
nonlinear optimization problem implemented in a
simulation environment. By minimizing an
objective function in which the oscillatory rotor
angle deviations of the generators are involved, TS
performance of the system is improved. The
recently has been proposed phase imbalanced
series capacitive compensation (N Mohan) concept
has been shown to be effective in enhancing PS
dynamics as it has the potential of damping power
swing as well as sub synchronous resonance
oscillations. The effectiveness of a “hybrid” series
capacitive compensation scheme in POD is
evaluated. A hybrid scheme is a series capacitive
compensation scheme, where two phases are
compensated by fixed series capacitor and the third
phase is compensated by a TCSC in series with a
fixed capacitor.  The SSR phenomenon may occur
when a steam turbine‐generator is connected to a
long transmission line with series compensation.
FACTS devices are widely applied to damp the
SSR and Low‐Frequency Oscillation (LFO). TCSC is
a commercially available FACTS device which
developed for damping the SSR and LFO. In
(Hasan Ghahramani), has been proposed the two
control methods for damping the SSR and LFO are
added to the TCSC main controller in order to
demonstrate that the SSR damping capability of
TCSC can be enhanced by proper modulation of
firing angle. The control methods are presented,
namely: Conventional Damping Controller (CDC)
and FL Damping Controller (FLDC). PSO
algorithm is used for searching optimized
parameters of the CDC. Fast Fourier Transform
(FFT) is carried out in order to evaluate effect of the
TCSC based FLDC in damping the SSR and LFO.
In (Nelson Martins), has been described, in a
tutorial manner, TCSC control aspects illustrated
through simulation results on a small power
system benchmark model. The analysis and design
of the TCSC controls, to schedule line power and
damp system oscillations, are based on modal
analysis, and time and frequency response
techniques. Root locus plots are also utilized. The
impact of badly located zeros on the system
transient response is assessed and possible
solutions are proposed. Optimal supplementary
damping controller design for TCSC is presented in
(S. Panda, 2009), the proposed controller design, a
multi‐objective fitness function consisting of both
damping factors and real part of system electro‐
mechanical Eigen‐value is used and Real‐Coded
GA is employed for the optimal supplementary
controller parameters. TCSC, a prominent FACTS
device, can rapidly modulate the impedance of a
transmission line, resulting in improvement of
system performance. The purposed of the work

198
reported in (Ning Yang, 1995) is to design a
controller to damp inter‐area oscillations. We have
applied the residue method to the linearized form
which is suitable for different controller
input/output channels and therefore suitable for
different control devices.  In (Ch. Venkatesh, 2010),
has been presented a different viewpoint of flatness
which uses a coordinate change based on a Lie‐
Backlund approach to equivalence in developing
flatness‐based feedback linearization and its
application to the design of model predictive
control based FACTS controller for power system
transient stability improvement. In (Nelson
Martins, 2000),has been described, in a tutorial
manner, TCSC control aspects illustrated through
simulation results on a small PS model. The
analysis and design of the TCSC controls, to
schedule line power and damp system oscillations,
are based on modal analysis. and time and
frequency response techniques.
4) SSVS
Different control aspects related to the use of TCSC
for stability improvement of PSs are addressed in
(Alberto D. Del Rosso, 2003). A novel hierarchical
control designed for both DS and SSVS
enhancement is proposed, and a complete analysis
is presented of various locally measurable input
signals that can be used for the controller. Control
strategies to mitigate adverse interactions among
the TCSC hierarchical controls are also presented.
In (Tain‐Syh Luo, 1998), an output feedback
variable structure controller is designed for a TCSC
in order to improve the damping characteristic of a
PS. Physically measurable AR and RP signals near
TCSC locations are used as the inputs to the
variable structure controller. These input signals
are employed to construct the switching hyper
plane of the proposed variable structure TCSC
controller.
5) Flexible Operation and Control
There are two types of FACTS controller’s viz.
series and shunt. Series compensation reduces the
transmission line reactance in order to improve
Power Flow through it, while shunt compensation
improves the Voltage profile. Among the FACTS
devices, the TCSC controller has tremendous
capability of giving the best results in terms of
performance. In (Venu Yarlagadda, 2012) –
(S.Panda, 2005), developed the control algorithm
for automatic control for the developed working
model of TCSC. The investigated the effects of
TCSC on synchronous stability and VS improve‐
ment. Stability of the System has been assessed
using P‐δ and P‐V Curves.
6) Protection
In (Arunachalam, 2005), has been described the
evaluation of the performance of the controller
developed by Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited
(BHEL) for TCSC using Real Time Digital
Simulator. The TCSC controller was developed for
the Kanpur‐Ballabhgarh 400kV single circuit ac
transmission line located in North India. It is
designed to perform important functions like
impedance control, current control in the line and
damping of power swing oscillation caused by
system disturbances. It also reduces the stress on
Metal Oxide Varistor during faults and protects the
capacitor against overvoltage and the TCR against
over current. In (P. S. Chaudhari)‐ (Mrs. P A
Kulkarni, 2010), has been presented a grid of
transmission lines operating at high or extra high
voltages is required to transmit power from
generating stations to load. In addition to
transmission lines that carry power from source to
load, modern power systems are highly
interconnected for economic reasons. The large
interconnected transmission networks are prone to
faults due to the lightning discharges and reduce
insulation strength. Changing loads and
atmospheric conditions are unpredictable factors.
This may cause overloading of lines due to which
VC takes place. All the above said things are
undesirable for secure and economic operation of a
line. These problems can be eased by providing
sufficient margin of working parameters and
power transfer, but it is not possible due to
expansion of transmission network. Still the
required margin is reduced by introduction of fast
dynamic control over RP and AP by high power
electronic controllers. Modern PSs are designed to
operate efficiently to supply power on demand to
various load centres with high reliability. The
generating stations are often located at distant
locations for economic, environmental and for
safety reasons. Thus a grid of transmission lines
operating at high or extra high voltages is required
to transmit power from generating stations to load.
In addition to transmission lines that carry power
from source to load, modern power systems are
highly interconnected for economic reasons. Its
benefit is exploiting load diversity, sharing of

199
generation reserves, and economy. The large
interconnected transmission networks are prone to
faults due to the lightning discharges and reduces
insulation strength. changing loads and atmos‐
pheric conditions are unpredictable factors. This
may cause overloading of lines due to which
voltage collapse takes place. All the above said
things are undesirable for secure and economic
operation of a line. These problems can be eased by
providing sufficient margin of working parameters
and power transfer, but it is not possible due to
expansion of transmission network. Still the
required margin is reduced by introduction of fast
dynamic control over RP and AP by high power
electronic controllers. This can make AC
transmission network flexible. This FACTS they are
alternating current transmission systems incorpo‐
rating power electronic based and other static
controllers to enhance controllability and increase
APTC. Hence FACTS controller is defined as
power electronic based system and other static
equipment that provide control of one or more AC
transmission system parameters.
7) APTC
In (Ibraheem, 2011), an attempt has been made to
determined ATC with the FACTS device i.e. TCSC.
The methods for ATC evaluation are developed
considering system thermal limits constraints
based on MVA loading of the system. Power
Transfer Distribution Factors are used to determine
the maximum ATC that may be available across
the system in a certain direction without violating
line thermal limits. ATC traditionally uses linear
methods capable of predicting distances based on
thermal limits. However, these methods do not
consider bus voltages and static collapse.
8) Optimal Location
PS stability improvement by a coordinate Design of
TCSC controller is addressed in (Swathi
kommamuri, 2011). PSO technique is employed for
optimization of the parameter constrained
nonlinear optimization problem implemented in a
simulation environment. In (Abouzar Samimi,
2012), a new method has been proposed to
determine optimal location and best setting of
TCSC. Seeking the best place is performed using
the sensitivity analysis and optimum setting of
TCSC is managed using the GA. The configuration
of a typical TCSC from a SS perspective is the fixed
capacitor with a TCR. The effect of TCSC on the
network can be modeled as a controllable reactance
inserted in the related transmission line.
9) Others
PS engineers (Preeti Singh, 2008) are currently
facing challenges to increase the power transfer
capabilities of existing transmission system. This is
where the FACTS technology comes into effect.
With relatively low investment, compared to new
transmission or generation facilities, the FACTS
technology allows the industries to better utilize
the existing transmission and generation reserves,
while enhancing the PS performance. Moreover,
the current trend of deregulated electricity market
also favours the FACTS controllers in many ways.
FACTS controllers in the deregulated electricity
market allow the system to be used in more flexible
way with increase in various stability margins.
FACTS controllers are products of FACTS
technology; a group of power electronics
controllers expected to revolutionize the power
transmission and distribution system in many
ways. The FACTS controllers clearly enhance PS
performance, improve quality of supply and also
provide an optimal utilization of the existing
resources. TCSC is a key FACTS controller and is
widely recognized as an effective and economical
means to enhance PS stability. For transmission of
large amounts of electric power, AC in the
overwhelming majority of cases is the established
as well as the most cost effective option at hand. In
cases of long distance transmission, as in
interconnection of PSs, care has to be taken for
safeguarding of synchronism as well as stable
system voltages in the interconnection, particularly
for extreme load conditions and in conjunction
with system faults. Use of TCSC as FACTS device
brings a number of benefits for the user of the grid,
all contributing to an increase of the power
transmission capability of new as well as existing
transmission lines. These benefits include
improvement in system stability, voltage
regulation, RP balance, load sharing between
parallel lines and reduction in transmission losses
(Md. Nasimul Islam, 2010).
3) TC‐PAR
The following performance parameter of systems as
follows:
1) AP
In (Ashwani Kumar Sharma, 2008),congestion
clusters based on modified AP flow sensitivity

200
factors considering effect of slack bus for
congestion management scheme has been
proposed. The most sensitive congestion clusters
will provide important information to system
operator to select the generators from selected
sensitive zone to reschedule their generation for
transmission congestion management more
efficiently. The impact of TC‐PAR has also been
investigated on congestion clusters and congestion
cost and their optimal placement have been
obtained using mixed integer programming
approach.
2) TS
A robust damping control design methodology for
a TC‐PAR using global signals is proposed based
on the simultaneous stabilisation approach. The
numerical design algorithm determines the
controller parameters in order to guarantee closed‐
loop poles in the left half plane with preferential
treatment to those corresponding to the inter‐area
modes. Plant models under different operating
conditions are incorporated in the design
formulation to achieve the desired performance
robustness. A three‐input/single‐output controller
is designed for the TC‐PAR to provide adequate
damping to the critical inter‐area modes of a study
system model. Based on the observability of the
inter‐area modes, AP flows from remote locations
are used as feedback stabilising signals. The
damping performance of the controller is examined
in the frequency and time domains and is found to
be robust against varying power‐flow patterns
nature of loads, tie‐line strengths and system non‐
linearities, including saturation (B.C. Pal, B.
Chaudhuri, 2004).
FACTS device like TC‐PAR can be used to regulate
the power flow in the tie‐lines of interconnected PS.
When TC‐PAR is equipped with power regulator
and frequency based stabiliser it can also
significantly influence the power flow in the
transient states occurring after power disturbances.
In the case of simple interconnected PS, consisting
of two power systems the control of TC‐PAR can
force a good damping of both power swings and
oscillations of local frequency. In the case of larger
interconnected PS consisting of more than two PSs
the influence of the control of TC‐PAR on damping
can be more complicated. Strong damping of LFOs
and power swings in one tie‐line may cause larger
oscillations in remote tie‐lines and other systems.
Hence using devices like TC‐PAR as a tool for
damping of power swings and frequency
oscillations in a large interconnected PS must be
justified by detailed analysis of PS dynamics (] D.D.
Rasolomampionona, 2003)
4) APTC
The ATC of a transmission system is a measure of
unutilized capability of the system at a given time.
The computation of ATC is very important to the
transmission system security and market
forecasting. While the power marketers are
focusing on fully utilizing the transmission system,
engineers are concern with the transmission system
security as any power transfers over the limit
might result in system instability. One of the most
critical issues that any engineers would like to keep
an eye on is the VC. Recent blackouts in major
cities throughout the world have raised concerns
about the VC phenomenon. FACTS devices such as
TCSC and TC‐PAR, by controlling the power flows
in the network, can help to reduce the flows in
heavily loaded lines resulting in an increased
loadability of the network and improves the VS (k.
Narasimha rao, 2007)
5) Others
In (B.C. Pal, 2004) has been discussed a robust
damping control design methodology for a TC‐
PAR using global signals is proposed based on the
simultaneous stabilisation approach. The
numerical design algorithm determines the
controller parameters in order to guarantee closed‐
loop poles in the left half plane with preferential
treatment to those corresponding to the inter‐area
modes. Plant models under different operating
conditions are incorporated in the design
formulation to achieve the desired performance
robustness. A three‐input/single‐output controller
is designed for the TC‐PAR to provide adequate
damping to the critical inter‐area modes of a study
system model. In (A. Kuma1, 2000), a scheme
based on generators and loads real and RP flow
contribution factors has been presented for
congestion management in pool based electricity
markets. The system operator (SO) can identify the
generators and loads based on these contribution
factors for rescheduling their real and RP
generation and loads to manage congestion. The
AP and RP bid curves for both generators and
loads have been incorporated in the optimization

201
model to determine congestion cost. The impact of
TC‐PAR has also been determined on the
congestion cost. In (A. Kumar, 2008), transmission
congestion distribution factors based on sensitivity
of line real power flow and full AC load flow
Jacobian sensitivity have been proposed to identify
the congestion clusters. The system operator can
identify the generators from the most sensitive
congestion clusters to reschedule their generation
optimally to manage transmission congestion
efficiently. The role of TC‐PAR has been
investigated for reducing the transmission
congestion cost after locating it optimally in the
system based on improved performance index.
4) TCR‐FC
The following performance parameters of systems as
follows:
1) RP Flow Control
In (T. Vijayakumar, 2011), has been discussed with
the simulation of eight bus system having fixed
capacitor and TCR. The system is modeled and
simulated using MATLAB. In (T.Vijayakumar,
2009) ,has been discussed the simulation of FC‐
TSR‐TCR system.
2) Voltage
In (Muzunoglu, 2005), non‐sinusoidal quantities
and VS, both known as PQ criteria, are examined
together in detail. The widespread use of power
electronics elements causes the existence of
significant non‐sinusoidal quantities in the system.
These non‐sinusoidal quantities can create serious
harmonic distortions in transmission and
distribution systems. The harmonic generation of a
SVC with TCR and effects of the harmonics on
SSVS are examined for various operational
conditions.
3) TS
In FACTS devices (Sonal Jain) various auxiliary
signal are used for POD. These signals may be
Deviation in AP, RP to TCR‐FC bus, Deviation in
frequency, derivative of AP, RP etc.
4) Others
In (Cláudio H., 2008), has been presented a study
on the application of FC, TCRs. A self‐supplied
thyristor firing circuit is considered, which can be
used in medium to high power applications,
avoiding the use of multiple isolated power
supplies. In (Jyoti Agrawal, 2011), has been
addressed the simulation of TCR and GTO
Controlled Series Capacitor (GCSC), equipment for
controlled series compensation of transmission
systems. TCR‐FC (Vipin Jain), is a well known
combination to improve VS. Supplementary signals
such as variation in RP, variation in frequency is
used to enhance the dynamic response of the
system. Harmonics that arise from the interaction
of TCRs (T.Vijayakumar, 2010) and PSs are difficult
to analyze. Two methods are described. The first
develops a Fourier matrix model for the TCR. The
coupling between the harmonics through the
system impedance is clearly shown. The second
method uses state variable analysis to write the
system equations for a circuit containing a TCR.
The systems of equations that result are linear with
time varying coefficients. Using linear system
theory statements and resonance can be made.  In ()
has been suggested the simulation and
implementation of FC‐TCR system.
Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs) are unbalanced,
nonlinear and time varying loads, which can cause
many problems in the PQ. As the use of arc furnace
loads increases in industry, the importance of the
PQ problems also increase. So in order to optimize
the usages of electric power in EAFs, it is necessary
to minimize the effects of arc furnace loads on PQ
in PSs as much as possible. Then by considering
the high changes of RP and VF of nonlinear furnace
load, TCR compensation with FC are designed and
simulated. In this procedure, the RP is measured so
that maximum speed and accuracy are achieved
(Rahmat Allah, 2009).
5) Shunt Connected‐FACTS Controllers
The following shunt connected FACTS controllers are
as follows:
6) SVC
follows:
1) Voltage Profile
However, in previous study the effect of SVC and
PSS on voltage transient in PS with suitable model
of these component for various faults such as
Single Line to Ground faults (SLG) and Line to line
and Line to Line to Ground (LL and LLG) and
three phase faults have not been considered and
analysed and investigated. Shunt FACTS devices,

202
when placed at the mid‐point of along
transmission line, play an important role in
controlling the RP to the power network and hence
both the system VS and TS. This study deals with
the location of a shunt FACTS device to improve
TS in along transmission line with pre defined
direction of AP flow. The validity of the mid‐point
location of shunt FACTS devices is verified, with
various shunt FACTS devices, namely SVC in a
long transmission line using the actual line model
(Mohammad Mohammadi, 2011). In emerging
electric PSs, increased transactions often lead to the
situations where the system no longer remains in
secure operating region. The FACTS controllers can
play an important role in the PS security
enhancement. However, due to high capital
investment, it is necessary to locate these
controllers optimally in the PS. FACTS devices can
regulate the AP and RP power control as well as
adaptive to voltage‐magnitude control simultane‐
ously because of their flexibility and fast control
characteristics. Placement of these devices in
suitable location can lead to control in line flow
and maintain bus voltages in desired level and so
improve VS margins. The proposed a systematic
method by which optimal location of multi‐type
FACTS devices to be installed (Ch.Rambabu). VI
and VC (Kalaivani, R., 2012) have been considered
as a major threat to present PS networks due to
their stressed operation. It is very important to do
the PS analysis with respect to VS. Approach:
FACTS is an alternating current transmission
system incorporating power electronic‐based and
other static controllers to enhance controllability
and increase APTC. A FACTS device in a PS
improves the VS, reduces the power loss and also
improves the load ability of the system. Results:
This study investigates the application of PSO and
GA to find optimal location and rated value of SVC
device to minimize the VS index, total power loss,
load voltage deviation, cost of generation and cost
of FACTS devices to improve VS in the PS. Optimal
location and rated value of SVC device have been
found in different loading scenario (115%, 125%
and 150% of normal loading) using PSO and GA.
In (Roberto Alves), has been presented an
application of a SVC. A SVC is one of the
controllers based on Power Electronics and other
static devices known as FACTS devices which it
could be used to increase the capacity and the
flexibility of a transmission network. The system
under study is an interconnected network located
in the southeast region of Venezuela. The objective
of our study was to increase the power flow, under
the thermal capacity, through an overhead
transmission lines, using a VS approach.
2) TS
A prospective application of applying an adaptive
controller to a SVC to damp power system
oscillations and enhance system stability is
presented in (A. Albakkar, 2010).
3) SSVS
In (Claudio A. Ca˜nizares), has been discussed the
effect on transmission congestion management and
pricing of dynamic and steady state models of
FACTS controllers. The analysis is based on
comparing system operating conditions and
locational marginal prices obtained from stability‐
constrained auction models when dynamic and
steady state FACTS models are used. A novel
stability‐constrained OPF auction model, which
allows for the inclusion of dynamic models of PSs
elements, including FACTS controllers, and a
better representation of system stability constraints,
is described in some detail and applied to the IEEE
14‐bus benchmark system with a SVC.
4) Testing and Control
Implemented a small scale laboratory based TSC‐
TCR type SVC. The automatic control circuit has
been implemented using microcontroller and
tested with the Single Machine Two Bus Test
system without and with SVC (Venu Yarlagadda,
2012).
5) Protection
As open transmission access is becoming a reality,
a major concern of electric power utilities is to
maintain the reliability of the grid. Increased
power transfers raise concerns about steady‐state
overloads, increased risks of VC, and potential
stability problems. Strengthening the protection
and control strategies is what utilities must do to
prevent a local problem from spreading to other
parts of the grid (Venu Yarlagadda. 2012).
6) Optimal Location of FACTS Controllers
In (Roberto Mínguez, 2007), has been addressed
the optimal placement of SVCs in a transmission
network in such a manner that its loading margin

203
is maximized. A multi‐scenario framework that
includes contingencies is considered. A PS, under
heavily loaded conditions, is at high risks of
probable line outage and consequent VI problem.
Real power loss and voltage deviation
minimization are reliable indicators of voltage
security of power networks. In (S.Sakthivel,
2011) ,has been addressed a PSO based optimal
location and sizing of SVC to improve VS under
the most critical line outage contingency in a PS
network. Line outages are ranked based on
increased RP generation and line losses.
7) Others
Elmhurst Substation is located in Commonwealth
Edison’s (ComEd’s) Northeast subzone. To support
reliability in that area of the system when
synchronous condensers that have been in
operation in the region are retired, two identical
300 MVAr SVCs were installed at the Elmhurst
Substation. Each SVC consists of three TSCs rated
at 75 MVAr (TSC1), 75 MVAr (TSC2), and 150
MVAr (TSC3). In (Lutz Kirschner), has been
provided details of the two identical 300 MVAr
SVCs operating in parallel; it illustrates the
background of system needs for dynamic RP
support, the designed structure as well as the
control and protection system of the two SVCs.  In
(Alisha Banga, 2011)‐ (E Barocio, 2002) discussed
and demonstrated how SVC has successfully been
applied to control transmission systems dynamic
performance for system disturbance and effectively
regulate system voltage. SVC is basically a shunt
connected SVC whose output is adjusted to
exchange capacitive or inductive current so as to
maintain or control specific power variable;
typically, the control variable is the SVC bus
voltage. One of the major reasons for installing a
SVC is to improve dynamic voltage control and
thus increase system loadability.
Combined‐FACTS Controllers
1) TCSC and SVC
1) AP and RP
Modern day PS networks (L.Jebaraj, 2012) are
having high risks of VI problems and several
network blackouts have been reported. This
phenomenon tends to occur from lack of RP
supports in heavily stressed operating conditions
caused by increased load demand and the fast
developing deregulation of PSs across the world. In
(]J. V. Parate, 2012), has been proposed an
application of Differential Evolution (DE)
Algorithm based extended VS margin and
minimization of loss by incorporating TCSC and
SVC (variable susceptance model) devices. The line
stability index (LQP) is used to assess the voltage
stability of a power system. The location and size
of Series connected and Shunt connected FACTS
devices were optimized by DE algorithm. In
general the problem of RP control is viewed from
two aspects: load compensation and voltage
support. This is utilized to reduce the total system
AP loss or voltage deviation as an objective to
compute optimal settings of RP output or terminal
voltages of generating plants, transformer tap
settings and output of other compensating devices
such as capacitor banks and synchronous
condensers.
2) APTC
Increased electric power consumption causes
transmission lines to be driven close to or even
beyond their transfer capacities resulting in
overloaded lines and congestions. FACTS provide
an opportunity to resolve congestions by
controlling power flows and voltages. In general,
SVCs and TCSCs are controlled locally without any
coordination (G. Glanzmann). Improving ATC is
important in the current deregulated environment
of PSs. In (K.Venkateswarlu, 2012) , ATC is
computed using Continuous Power Flow (CPF)
method considering line thermal limit and bus
voltage limits. FACTS can control magnitude of
voltage, phase angle and circuit reactance and the
load flow may be re‐distributed to regulate bus
voltages. Real‐code Genetic Algorithm (RGA) is
used as the optimization tool to determine the
location and the controlling parameters of FACTs
devices. Total Transfer Capability (TTC) forms the
basis for ATC. ATC of a transmission system is a
measure of unutilized capability of a system at a
given time. The computation of ATC is very
important to transmission system security and
market forecasting this paper focuses on the
evaluation of impact of TCSC and SVC as FACTS
devices on ATC and its enhancement. The optimal
location of FACTS devices were determined based
on Sensitivity methods. The Reduction of Total
System RP Losses Method was used to determine
the suitable location of TCSC and SVC for ATC
enhancement (G. Swapna1, 2012).

204
Second Generation of FACTS Controllers
The second generation of FACTS controllers is
classified as following categories:
Series Connected FACTS Controllers
1) SSSC
follows:
1) AP
Recent day PS networks are having high risks of VI
problems and several network blackouts have been
reported. This phenomenon tends to occur from
lack of RP supports in heavily stressed operating
conditions caused by increased load demand and
the fast developing deregulation of PSs across the
world. In (L. Jebaraj, 2012), has been proposed an
application of Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm
(SFLA) based extended VS margin and
minimization of loss by incorporating SSSC and
SVC (variable susceptance model) devices. A new
circuit elements based model of SSSC is utilized to
control the line power flows and bus voltage
magnitudes for VS limit improvement. The new
model of the SSSC changes only the bus admittance
matrix and consequently reduces the coding of
load flow problem incorporating SSSC simple. The
line stability index (LQP) is used to assess the VS of
a PS. The location and size of Series connected and
Shunt connected FACTS devices were optimized
by shuffled frog leaping algorithm.
2) RP
A transmission line needs controllable
compensation for power flow control and voltage
regulation. This can be achieved by FACTS
controllers. SSSC is a series connected FACTS
controller, which is capable of providing RP
compensation to a PS. The output of an SSSC is
series injected voltage, which leads or lags line
current by 90°, thus emulating a controllable
inductive or capacitive reactance. SSSC can be used
to reduce the equivalent line impedance and
enhance the active APTC of the line (Chintan R
Patel).
3) Voltage
The maintenance and availability of the PS can be
considered a major aspect of investigation. The
encouragement to the planning of HV lines, the
value of power that transfer per km on HV line and
the amount of power transaction as seen from
economic side is much responsible for concern
towards congestion phenomena in power system.
The idea for solving this problem is the use of
FACTS devices especially the use of SSSC (Hossein
Nasir Aghdam, 2011).
4) TS
Reference (A. Kazem, 2005), a new GA is proposed
for optimal selection of the SSSC damping
controller parameters in order to shift the closed
loop eigenvalues toward the desired stability
region. Controller design is formulated as a
nonlinear constrained optimization problem. As
the combination of objective function (system
stability) and constraints (limits of controller gains)
is used as the fitness function, their simultaneous
improvement is achieved.
Problem statement (Sona Padma, 2011): FACTS
devices play a major role in the efficient operation
of the complex PS. FACTS devices such as
STATCOM, SSSC and IPFC are in increasing usage.
With energy storage systems they have a good
control over the real as well as RP compensation
and TS improvement. The design of controller for
the SSSC with SMES system is analyzed in this
study. Approach: The main variables to be
controlled in the PS for efficient operation are the
voltage, phase angle and impedance. A SSSC is a
series connected converter based FACTS control
which can provide a series RP compensation for a
transmission system. With the addition of energy
storage device, in addition to the RP compensation
the AP exchange is also accomplished. FL
controller is designed for the efficient operation of
the PS with SSSC integrated with energy storage
device. From the power reference the current
reference is calculated and the error and change in
error in the current are calculated in the controller.
Results: A three phase to ground fault is simulated
in the test system. A comparative analysis of the PI
and FL control of SSSC with energy storage system
for the rotor angle oscillation damping following
the disturbance is done. In (Sidhartha Panda, 2007),
the application of a SSSC controller to improve the
TS performance of a PS is thoroughly investigated.
The design problem of SSSC controller is
formulated as an optimization problem and PSO
Technique is employed to search for optimal
controller parameters. By minimizing the time‐
domain based objective function, in which the

205
deviation in the oscillatory rotor angle of the
generator is involved; TS performance of the
system is improved.
5) PS Stability
In (S Arun Kumar, 2012), has been investigated the
enhancement of VS using SSSC. The continuous
demand in electric PS network has caused the
system to be heavily loaded leading to VI. Under
heavy loaded conditions there may be insufficient
RP causing the voltages to drop. This drop may
lead to drops in voltage at various buses. The result
would be the occurrence of VC which leads to total
blackout of the whole system. FACTS controllers
have been mainly used for solving various PS
stability control problems. In this study, a SSSC is
used to investigate the effect of this device in
controlling AP and RP as well as damping power
system oscillations in transient mode.
The main aim of (D. Murali, 2010), has been to
damp out PS oscillations, which has been
recognized as one of the major concerns in PS
operation. The described the damping of power
oscillations by hybrid neuro‐fuzzy coordinated
control of FACTS based damping controllers. The
advantage of this approach is that it can handle the
nonlinearities, at the same time it is faster than
other conventional controllers. ANFIS (Adaptive
Neuro‐Fuzzy Inference System) is employed for
the training of the proposed FL controllers.
7) APTC
SSSC is a VSC based series FACTS device that
provides capacitive or inductive compensation
independent of line current. In (Akhilesh A. Nimje,
2011), has been presented the achievement of the
required AP and RP flow into the line for the
purpose of compensation as well as validation of
enhancement of the APTC of a transmission line
when IPFC acts as standalone as SSSC. The effect of
variation of the phase angle of the injected voltage
on the PS parameters such as effective sending end
voltage, effective transmission angle, AP, RP, and
overall power factor with and without SSSC have
also been incorporated. In (Sh. Javadi, 2011), has
been reviewed the optimization ATC of PSs using a
device of FACTS named SSSC equipped with
energy storage devices. So that, emplacement and
improvement of parameters of SSSC will be
illustrated. Thus, voltage magnitude constraints of
network buses, line TS constraints and voltage
breakdown constraints are considered.
8) Optimization Techniques
The aim of (Seyed M.H Nabavi, 2011), has been
presented a GA based method for congestion
management and to maximize social welfare using
one unit SSSC in a double auction pool market
based PSs. The aims are achieved by optimal
locating and sizing one SSSC unit. In (Sidhartha
Panda, 2007), has been presented a GA
optimization technique is applied to design FACTS
based damping controllers. Two types of controller
structures, namely a proportional‐integral (PI) and
a lead‐lag (LL) are considered.
9) Others
In (R. Thirumalaivasan, 2011), investigation of SSR
characteristics of a hybrid series compensated
system and the design of voltage controller for
three level 24‐pulse VSC based SSSC is presented.
Hybrid compensation consists of series fixed
capacitor and SSSC which is a active series FACTS
controller. In (Anju Meghwani, 2008), presented
the implementation of SSSC controller on Real
Time Application Interface (RTAI) for Linux
Operating System (OS). RTAI provides real‐time
capability to Linux General Purpose Operating
System (GPOS) over and above the capabilities of
non real‐time Linux environment, e.g. access to
TCP/IP, graphical display and windowing systems,
file and database systems. Both Type II controllers,
DC voltage and current scheduling controllers, are
implemented in RTAI. To create a user friendly
environment, Graphical User Interface (GUI) is
developed in Linux OS in user space (non real‐time)
using a software available from Quasar
Technologies (Qt). In (Sidhartha Panda, 2010), a
systematic procedure for modeling, simulation and
optimally tuning the parameters of a SSSC
controller in a multi‐machine system, for PS
stability enhancement is presented.
Series–Series Connected FACTS Controllers
1) IPFC
follows:
1) AP and RP
The IPFC (Laszlo Gyugyi, 1999), has been proposed
is a new concept for the compensation and

206
effective power flow management of multiline
transmission systems. In its general form, the IPFC
employs a number of inverters with a common dc
link, each to provide series compensation for a
selected line of the transmission system. Since each
inverter is also able to provide RP compensation,
the IPFC is able to carry out an overall AP and RP
compensation of the total transmission system.
This capability makes it possible to equalize both
AP and RP flow between the lines, transfer power
from loaded to unloaded lines, compensate against
reactive voltage drop sand the corresponding
reactive line power, and to increase the
effectiveness of the compensating system against
dynamic disturbances.
2) TS
The effect of an IPFC (A. Kazemi, 2008) on
damping LFO has been implied in many literatures,
but has not been investigated in detail. A
considerable progress has been achieved in TS
analysis with various FACTS controllers. But, all
these controllers are associated with single
transmission line. In (A.V.Naresh Babu, 2012),
discussed a new approach i.e. a multi‐line FACTS
controller which is IPFC for TSA of a multi‐
machine PS network. A mathematical model of
IPFC, termed as power injection model presented
and this model is incorporated in NRFL algorithm.
3) SSVS
The IPFC main advantages and limitations whilst
controlling simultaneously the power flow in
multiline systems are presented in reference in (R.L.
Vasquez, 2008).
Electrical energy is transported from the generating
point (D.Lakshman Kumar, 2012) to the point of
use through interconnected transmission lines. The
flow of electricity through the transmission lines
can be effectively and efficiently controlled by
using IPFC instead of going for a new transmission
lines.  IPFC (B. Karthik, 2011) are commonly used
for maintaining power flow in the multiline
transmission lines and to increase the AP in the
line. The main problem here is the identification of
a proper place for fixing the IPFC in the
transmission system. Here, we proposed a hybrid
technique for identifying the proper place for
fixing the IPFC. The proposed hybrid technique
utilizes GA and NN to identify the proper place for
fixing the IPFC. The training dataset is generated
using the GA. In (G. Irusapparajan, 2011), has been
dealed with experimental verification of IPFC.
IPFC is a Concept of FACTS controller with the
unique capability for series compensation with the
unique capability of power flow management
among multi‐line of a substation.
5) APTC
In (A.V. Naresh Babu1, 2012), presented the use of
an advanced and versatile member of FACTS
device which is IPFC to improve the ATC. In
general, IPFC is used in multiple transmission lines
of a PS network. A mathematical model of IPFC,
termed as power injection model is derived.
In (A. V. Naresh Babu, 2012)‐( Jianhong Chen, 2002),
a new intelligent search evolution algorithm (ISEA)
is proposed to minimize the generator fuel cost in
OPF control with multi‐line FACTS device which is
IPFC.
7) Others
The IPFC (A. P.Usha Rani, 2010) is a VSC based
FACTS controller for series compensation with the
unique capability of power flow management
among the multiline transmission systems of a
substation. The RP injected by individual VSC can
be controlled to regulate AP flow in the respective
line. While one VSC regulates the DC voltage, the
other one controls the RP flows in the lines by
injecting series active voltage. The IPFC is among
the FACTS devices aimed at simultaneously
controlling the power flow in multiline systems (B.
Karthik and S. Chandrasekar, 2012). The Separated
IPFC (B. Karthik and S. Chandrasekar, 2011),
presented is a new concept for a FACTS device.
The S‐IPFC is an adapted version of the IPFC,
which eliminates the common DC link of the IPFC
and enable the separate installation of the
converters. Without location constrain, more
power lines can be equipped with the S‐IPFC,
which gives more control capability of the power
flow control. Instead of the common dc link, the
exchange AP between the converters is through the
same ac transmission line at 3rd harmonic
frequency. Every converter has its own dc
capacitor to provide the dc voltage.
8) GIPFC
A GIPFC (Mahesh Hanumantha Prabhu) is an
emerging FACTS based controller that provides

207
better stability, better controllability and enhanced
power flow between the interconnected
transmission lines by exchanging the AP and RP
flow between interconnected transmission lines. To
maintain the desired power flow in all the
transmission lines of the interconnected system, a
shunt converter and a number of series converters
are used.
Series–Shunt Connected‐FACTS Controllers
1) UPFC
follows:
1) AP and RP
FACTS technology (D. Murali, 2010) opens up new
opportunities for controlling power and enhancing
the usable capacity of present, as well as new and
upgraded lines. The UPFC is a second generation
FACTS device which enables independent control
of AP and RP besides improving reliability and
quality of the supply. Reference ((Marouani I,
Guesmi T), the optimal location and sizing of
UPFC is found in order to solve the optimal
reactive power dispatch (ORPD). The ORPD was
been formulated as a minimization of total system
transmission loss and improvement of VP. To solve
this multi‐objective optimization problem an elitist
multi‐objective evolutionary algorithm based on
non‐dominated sorting genetic algorithm II
(NSGAII) is used. The UPFC is the most versatile
and complex power electronic equipment that has
emerged for the control and optimization of power
flow in electrical power transmission system. In (S.
Tara Kalyani, 2008), presented the AP and RP flow
control through a transmission line by placing
UPFC at the sending end using computer
simulation. When no UPFC is installed, AP and RP
through the transmission line can not be controlled.
Reference (L.Gyugyi, 1992), discussed the UPFC is
able to control the transmitted real power and
independently the RP flows at the sending and the
receiving end of the transmission line. The unique
capabilities of the UPFC in multiple line
compensation are integrated into a generalized
power controller, AP and RP flow in the line.
2) VS
A critical factor effecting power transmission
systems today is power flow control. The
increment of load variation in a power transmi‐
ssion system can lead to potential failure on the
entire system as the system has to work under a
stressed condition. Thus, the FACTS are integrated
in PS to control the power flow in specific lines and
improve the security of transmission line. In (Nor
Rul Hasma Abdullah Ismail Musirin, 2010),
presented an Evolutionary Programming (EP)
techniques for solving RP problem incorporating
UPFC. The objective of the study is to employ EP
optimization technique for loss minimization along
with installation cost calculation and VP
monitoring. The optimizations are made based on
two parameters: the location of the devices and it
sizes. The UPFC devices are installed in the system
in order to enhance the system security; performed
on the IEEE 30‐bus RTS for several loading
conditions.
3) TS
In (A.Kazemi, 2004), has been presented a hybrid
method on investigation of UPFC effects on TS of
multi machine PS has been introduced. Based on
the combination of output results of time domain
simulation and transient energy function (TEF)
analysis, study of PS‐TS is converted to the study
of TS of only one machine, so called critical
machine. The effects of UPFC in three basic control
mode namely in‐phase voltage control, quadrature
voltage control and shunt compensation control on
the TS margin and for various fault clearing times,
has been studied. Reference (P. K. Dash, 2004),
presented the design of a nonlinear variable‐gain
FL controller for a FACTS device like the UPFC to
enhance the TS performance of PSs With the
growing demand of electricity, at times, it is not
possible to erect new lines to face the situation.
FACTS use the thyristor controlled devices and
optimally utilizes the existing power network.
FACTS devices play an important role in
controlling the RP and AP flow to the power
network and hence both the system voltage
fluctuations and TS. In (A. Elkholy, 2010), has been
proposed the UPFC as a power electronic based
device that has capability of controlling the power
flow through the line by controlling its series and
shunt converters, also combined with DGs
connected in the DC link to mitigate PQ
disturbances. Reference (J. Jegatheesan, 2011), an
adaptive UPFC is designed with the application of
the intelligent techniques such as a combination of
NN and FL has been presented. Reference
(Claudio Cañizares, 2004), described and validated

208
a TS and power flow model of a UPFC, and
presented a detailed comparison of different
controls strategies, proposing novel, efficient and
simple controls for this controller. The proposed
model accurately represents the behavior of the
controller in quasi‐steady state operating
conditions, and hence is adequate for TS as well as
SSVS analyses of PSs.
4) SSVS
In (S.Ali Al‐Mawsawi, 2012), a new developed
construction model of the UPFC is proposed. The
construction of this model consists of one shunt
compensation block and two series compensation
blocks. In this case, the UPFC with the new
construction model will be investigated when it is
installed in multi‐machine systems with nonlinear
load model. Reference (A.M. Vural, 2003),
presented an improved SS mathematical model for
UPFC, which is necessary for the analysis of the SS
operation of this device embedded in a PS. The
model is based on the concept of injected powers in
which the operational losses can be taken into
account.
5) Flexible Operation and control
FACTS (Bhanu Chennapragada, 2003) technology
opens up new opportunities for controlling power
and enhancing the usable capacity of present, as
well as new and upgraded lines. The UPFC is a
second generation FACTS device, which enables
independent control of AP and RP besides
improving reliability and quality of the supply.
6) Protection
The presence of an important of FACTS (P.K. Dash,
2000) device like UPFC can drastically affect the
performance of a distance relay in a two‐terminal
system connected by a double‐circuit transmission
line. The control characteristics of the UPFC, its
location on the transmission system and the fault
resistance, especially the high ones make this
problem more severe and complicated.  Reference
(T. Manokaran), presented a simulation results of
the application of distance relays for the protection
of transmission systems employing FACTS such as
the UPFC.
7) APTC
In (Ashwani Kumar, 2008), has been addressed a
mixed integer programming based approach for
optimal placement of DC model of UPFC in the
deregulated electricity environment. The method
accounts for DC load flow equations taking
constraints on generation, line flow, and UPFC
parameters. The security of transactions has
become important issue to reserve the APTC.
8) Optimal Location of FACTS Controllers
In (Prakash Burade, 2012), a UPFC is a FACTS
device that can be control the power flow in
transmission line by injecting active and reactive in
voltage components in series with the lines. The
proposed methodologies are based on the use of
line loading security Performance Index
(sensitivity factors have been suggested for optimal
placement of UPFC. These methods are
computationally efficient PI sensitivity factors have
been obtained with respect to change in two of the
UPFC parameters viz., magnitude and phase angle
of the injected voltage in the lines. In (Satakshi
Singh, 2012), presented the development of simple
and efficient models for suitable location of UPFC,
with static point of view, for congestion
management. Two different objectives have been
considered and the results are compared.
Installation of UPFC requires a two‐step approach.
First, the proper location of these devices in the
network must be ascertained and then, the settings
of its control parameters optimized. In a power
system transmission network, there are some
corridors which are lightly loaded whereas some of
the corridors are critically loaded and thus power
system is operating near to critical state. FACTS
plays (S. N. Singh) such as UPFC a vital role in
improving the power system performance, both
the static and dynamic, and enhanced the system
loading capability by rerouting the power flow in
the network. Due to excessive cost, these devices
must be located optimally.
9) Others
The UPFC is a solid state controller which can be
used to control active and reactive power flows in a
transmission line. In (K.R Padiyar, 1998), has been
proposed a control strategy for UPFC in which we
control real power flow through the line, while
regulating magnitudes of the voltages at its two
ports. UPFC (T. Nireekshana, 2010) is used to
control the power flow in the transmission systems
by controlling the impedance, voltage magnitude
and phase angle. This controller offers advantages
in terms of static and dynamic operation of the
power system. It also brings in new challenges in

209
power electronics and power system design. The
basic structure of the UPFC consists of two VSI;
where one converter is connected in parallel to the
transmission line while the other is in series with
the transmission line.
2) GUPFC
follows:
1) Voltage
Electric PQ broadly refers to maintaining a near
sinusoidal bus voltage at rated magnitude and
frequency. Due to the advancement and
proliferation of information technology and the
widespread use of power electronic devices in
recent years, utilities’ customers in various
industrial fields are suffering economic losses from
short interruptions and voltage flickers (VF). The
FACTS devices like SVCʹs, STATCOM, UPFC and
DVR have been able to solve the VF problems by
rapidly controlling the RP. In the case of two
different sensitive loads in an industrial park fed
from two different feeders with different voltage
levels, protection from VF can be done by two
DVRs having common dc link called IDVR. But in
case when the lines are connected with same grid
substation and feeding two different sensitive
loads in an industrial park, VF in one line affects
the VP of other lines. Under the above
circumstances, VP cannot be mitigated by IDVR
due to insufficient energy storage in dc‐link. In
(Sujin P. Ra, 2012) ‐ (T. Ruban Deva Prakash, 2007),
has been proposed a VF compensator based on
GUPFC, which comprises of three VSC modules
sharing a common dc link. Two VSC modules
connected in series with the lines, compensate VF
and a third shunt converter module maintains bus
voltage and replenishes the common dc‐link
energy storage. The control strategy for power flow
control of shunt converter and VF compensation
control of series converters are derived.
2) APTC
Incorporating of GUPFC by the injection power
flow GUPFC model and PV/PQ/PQ GUPFC model
is the subjected in (M. Z. EL‐Sadek).
3) Others
A GUPQC by using three single‐phase three‐level
VSCs connected back‐to‐back through a common
dc link is proposed in ref.( Bahr Eldin, 2012) as a
new custom power device for a three‐feeder
distribution system. One of the converters is
connected in shunt with one feeder for mitigation
of current harmonics and RP compensation, while
the other two VSCs are connected in series with the
other two feeders to maintain the load voltage
sinusoidal and at constant level. The GUPFC
(Rakhmad Syafutra Lubis, 2012) is a VSC based
FACTS for shunt and series compensation among
the multiline transmission systems of a substation
is presented.
Shunt Connected‐FACTS Controllers
1) STATCOM
follows:
1) RP
RP compensation is an important issue in the
control of electric PS. RP from the source increases
the transmission losses and reduces the power
transmission capability of the transmission lines.
Moreover, RP should not be transmitted through
the transmission line to a longer distance. Hence
FACTS devices such as STATCOM, UPFC, and
SVC are used to alleviate these problems. In (S.
Arockia Edwin Xavier, 2012), a VSC based
STATCOM is developed with PI and Fuzzy
Controller. Reference (A.M. Sharaf,), has been
suggested a novel multi‐loop dynamic error
driven controller based on the decoupled (d‐q)
voltage and current tracking for modulating the
STATCOM used in distribution networks with
dispersed renewable wind energy.
In (Naveen Goel, 2010), a STATCOM is used for VS
and the compensation of RP. The STATCOM
contains an Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor
(IGBT) based VSC for voltage control and RP
compensation. The STATCOM is used to control
the RP with the VSC in combination with a DC
voltage source.
2) TS
Lack of adequate transmission capacity is a major
impediment in connecting more of RESs (such as
wind, solar) into the transmission grid. In (Rajiv K.
Varma) presented a novel control of a grid
connected photovoltaic solar farm to improve TS
limit and hence improved APTC of the
transmission line. In the night, when the solar farm
is completely idle, this new control technique

210
makes the solar farm inverter behave like a
STATCOM a FACTS device. The solar farm
inverter then provides voltage regulation at the
point of common coupling and improves the
stability and transfer limits far beyond minimal
incremental benefits. In recent years generation of
electricity using WP has received considerable
attention worldwide. Induction machines are
mostly used as generators in WP based generations.
Since induction machines have a stability problem
as they draw very large reactive currents during
fault condition, RP compensation can be provided
to improve stability (Siddhartha Panda, 2007). The
dynamic behavior of the example distribution
system, during an external three‐phase fault and
under various types of wind speed changes, is
investigated. The study is carried out by three‐
phase, non‐linear, dynamic simulation of
distribution system component models. In a
deregulated utility environment financial and
market forces will demand a more optimal and
profitable operation of the PS with respect to
generation, transmission and distribution. Power
electronic equipment such as FACTS (K.
Venkateswarlu) opens up new opportunities for
controlling power and enhancing the usable
capacity in the existing system. A STATCOM based
on the VSC is a widely used shunt FACTS device.
The rapid development of power electronics
technology provides exciting opportunities to
develop new PS equipment for better utilization of
existing systems. During the last two decades,
number of control devices under the term FACTS
offers opportunity to enhance controllability,
stability and APTC of AC transmission systems.
The insertion of SVC in real time system is
presented in (P. Selvan, 2011).
3) SSVS
Reference (Adepoju, 2011), presented the
mathematical SS modelling of STATCOM, which is
the most widely used member of FACTS.
STATCOM Power Injection Model (PIM), derived
from one voltage source representation, is
presented and analyzed in detailed.
In (N. Magaji), presented a state feedback control
approach to the Single Infinite bus Machine
incorporating a STATCOM. In (Linju Jose), a new
type of single phase STATCOM for low rating used
in customer side is proposed. This new STATCOM
is constructed by cascading a full‐bridge VSIs to
the point of common coupling. A so‐called
sinusoidal pulse width modulation unipolar
voltage switching scheme is applied to control the
switching devices of each VSI. A new control
strategy is adopted for compensating the
harmonics and reactive current required by the
load.
5) Protection
The STATCOM (R. Kameswara Rao, 2012) based
on VSC is used for VR in transmission and
distribution systems. The STATCOM can rapidly
supply dynamic VARs required during system
faults for voltage support. The apparent impedance
is influenced by the RP injected or absorbed by the
STATCOM, which will result in the under reaching
or over reaching of distance relay.
Application of FACTS controller called STATCOM
(G. Elsady, 2010) to improve the performance of
power grid with WPs is investigated .The essential
feature of the STATCOM is that it has the ability to
absorb or inject fastly the RP with power grid.
Power flow control, in an existing long
transmission line, plays a vital role in PS area. In
this the shunt connected STATCOM (Ravi Kumar
Hada, 2012) based FACTS device for the control of
voltage and the power flow in long distance
transmission line. According to nonlinear
operation of STATCOM (N. Farokhnia, 2010),
nonlinear controller has a better performance in
comparison with linear controller. Regulating the
DC capacitor voltage in STATCOM is a common
task and can improve the system dynamic. The
introduction of FACTS (R. F> Kerendia, 2012) in a
power system is to improve the stability, reduce
the losses, and also improve the loadability of the
network system.
8) Others
In (R. F. Kerendia, 2012), the advantage of
STATCOM to compare with SVC are presented. In
(John J. Paserba, 2000), a deregulated utility
environment, financial and market forces will
demand a more optimal and profitable operation of
the power system with respect to generation,
transmission, and distribution. Power electronic
based equipment, such as FACTS, HVDC, and

211
Custom Power technologies constitute some of the
most‐promising technical advancements to address
the new operating challenges being presented
today. The STATCOM (Nagesh Prabhu, 2008) is a
shunt connected VSC based FACTS controller
using self‐commutating devices like GTOs
employed for RP control. The principle of
operation is similar to that of a synchronous
condenser. A typical application of a STATCOM is
for VR at the midpoint of a long transmission line
for the enhancement of APTC and/or RP control at
the load centre.
2) D‐STATCOM
follows:
1) VP
PQ (Hariyani Mehul, 2011)‐(Saeed Mohammadi,
2012) is a major issue in the distribution system
(DS). There will be problem occurs regarding RP
transfer in distribution system due to large power
angle even with substantial voltage magnitude
gradient. Here a D‐STATCOM is used as a FACT
device which can compensate RP. D‐STATCOM is
three phase VSC used to compensate voltage and
make the system stable by absorbing and
generating RP. D‐STATCOM (Dipesh. M .Patel,
2011) is used for compensation of RP and
unbalance caused by various loads in DS.
2) TS
Reference (Ashwin Kumar Sahoo, 2009), has been
presented an electromagnetic transient model of
FC‐TCR is developed and applied to the study of
transients due to load variations. The work is then
extended to custom power equipment, namely D‐
STATCOM and Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR)
aimed at enhancing the reliability and quality of
power flows in low voltage distribution networks.
Combined ‐FACTS Controllers
follows:
1) UPFC, GUPFC, and IPFC
1) RP
Shunt FACTS devices, when placed at the mid‐
point of a long transmission line, play an important
role in controlling the RP flow to the power
network and hence both the system voltage
fluctuations and TS. In (N.M. Tabatabaei, 2008),
dealed with the location of a shunt FACTS device
to improve TS in a long transmission line with
predefined direction of AP flow. The validity of the
mid‐point location of shunt FACTS devices is
verified, with different shunt FACTS devices,
namely SVC and STATCOM in a long transmission
line using the actual line model. Reference (S. K.
Nandha Kumar, 2011), has been proposed an
application of Evolutionary Programming (EP) to
RP Planning problem using SVC, TCSC and UPFC
considering voltage stability. The Fast Voltage
Stability Index (FVSI) is used to identify the critical
lines and buses to install the FACTS controllers.
2) VS
FACTS devices have been used in PSs since the
1970s for the improvement of its dynamic
performance. In [138], the various FACTS related
to the benefits and applications of FACTS
controllers in electric utilities are presented.
Increased electric power consumption causes
transmission lines to be driven close to or even
beyond their transfer capacities resulting in
overloaded lines and congestions. FACTS
technology encompasses a collection of controllers,
which can be applied individually or in
coordination with others to control one or more of
the interrelated system parameters. In (Pankaj
Jindal), described a FACT controller used in
electrical power system. An UPFC is FACTS
controller used to control of AP and RP and the
IPFC is use for series compensation with the
unique capability of power management among
multiline of a substation. In (Sunil Kumar Singh,
2012), a consequence of the electric utility industry
deregulation and liberalization of electricity
markets as well as increasing demand of electric
power, the amount of power exchanges between
producer and consumer are increases. In this
process, the existing transmission lines are
overloaded and lead to unreliable system. The
countries like India with increasing demand of
electric power day by day it is difficult to expand
the existing transmission system due to difficulties
in right of way and cost problem in transmission
network expansion. So, we need power flow
controllers to increasing transmission capacity and
controlling power flows. FACTS controllers are
capable of controlling power flows and enhancing
the usable capacity of existing transmission lines.
In (Payam Farhadi, 2012), VS of PS has been

212
investigated in the presence of three types of
FACTS controllers including SVC, STATCOM and
UPFC. VS and VC point and the loading amount
are calculated with and without FACTS controllers.
Singh, B., et al. (Bindeshwar Singh, 2010), has been
presented a exhaustive review of various concept
of VI, main causes of VI, classification of VS, DS
and SSVS analysis techniques, modeling,
shortcomings, in PSs environments. It also reviews
various current techniques/methods for analysis of
VS in PSs through all over world. VI problems (R.
Kalaivani, 2011) increasing day by day because of
demand increase. It is very important to analyze
the PS with respect to VS by FACTS controllers
such as STATCOM, UPFC, SVC, and IPFC. In (J. F.
Gronquist, 1996), studied the effects of applying
controls for FACTS devices derived from energy
functions for lossless systems to systems with
losses.
3) TS
In (Xianzhang Lei, 1995), presented a global
procedure for parameter settings of FACTS
controllers. With the help of the optimization mode
in the simulation program system, parameters of
controllers associated with the FACTS devices and
PSSs in the system are globally determined relying
only on local measured information which is
available at the FACTS devices themselves. By the
minimization of the power oscillations, all possible
operation constraints such as VP at each node
concerned are considered taking into account the
whole non‐linear system. The FACTS devices are
SVC and TCSC. To meet the strict criteria of grid
codes for the integrated wind farm with the grid
has become a major point of concern for engineers
and researchers today. Moreover VS is a key factor
for the stable operation of grid connected wind
farm during fault ride through and grid
disturbances. In (Naimul Hasan, 2012), has been
investigated the implementation and comparison
of FACTS devices like STATCOM and SVC for the
VS issue for DFIG‐based WP connected to a grid
and load. The study includes the implementation
of FACTS devices as a dynamic voltage restorer at
the point of common coupling to maintain stable
voltage and thereby protecting DFIG‐based WP
interconnected PS from isolating during and after
the disturbances. Due to the deregulation of the
electrical market, difficulty in acquiring rights‐of‐
way to build new transmission lines, and steady
increase in power demand, maintaining PS stability
becomes a difficult and very challenging problem.
In large, interconnected PSs, PS damping is often
reduced, leading to lightly damped
electromechanical modes of oscillations.
Implementation of new equipment consisting high
power electronics based technologies such as
FACTS and proper controller design become
essential for improvement of operation and control
of PSs. The aim of (Rusejla Sadikovi’C), is to
examined the ability of FACTS devices, such as
TCSC, UPFC and SVC for power flow control and
damping of electromechanical oscillations in a PS.
With increased APTC, TS is increasingly important
for secure operation. TS evaluation of large scale
PSs is an extremely intricate and highly non linear
problem. An important function of transient
evaluation is to appraise the capability of the PS to
withstand serious contingency in time, so that
some emergencies or preventive control can be
carried out to prevent system breakdown. In
practical operations correct assessment (S. V. Ravi
Kumar, 2007) of transient stability for given
operating states is necessary and valuable for PS
operation. SVC is a shunt connected FACTS
devices, and plays an important role as a stability
aid for dynamic and transient disturbances in PSs.
UPFC controller is another FACTS device which
can be used to control active and RP flows in a
transmission line. Reference (A. M. Sharaf, 1999),
presented a novel flexible, self‐adjusting variable
series capacitor compensation scheme to enhance
TS of an interconnected AC system. An application
of a normalized H1 loop‐shaping technique for
design and simplification of damping controllers in
the LMI framework is illustrated in (Rajat
Majumder, 2001). The development of the modern
PS has led to an increasing complexity in the study
of PS, and also presents new challenges to PS
stability, and in particular, to the aspects of TS and
SSVS. TS control plays a significant role in ensuring
the stable operation of PSs in the event of large
disturbances and faults, and is thus a significant
area of research. In (D. Murali, 2010), has been
investigated the improvement of TS of a two‐area
PS, using UPFC which is an effective FACTS device
capable of controlling the AP and RP flows in a
transmission line by controlling appropriately its

213
series and shunt parameters. Reference (Jungsoo
Park, 2008), described modeling VSI type FACTS
controllers and control methods for PS dynamic
stability studies. The considered FACTS controllers
are the STATCOM, the SSSC, and the UPFC. Singh,
B., et al. (Bindeshwar Singh, 2010), presented an
exhaustive review of various methods/techniques
for incorporation of differential algebraic equations
(DAE) model of FACTS controllers in multi‐
machine PS environments for enhancement of
different operating parameters viewpoint such as
damping, VS, voltage security, loadability, AP and
energy losses, APTC, cost of generation and
FACTS controllers, dynamic performance, and
others parameters point of view. It also reviews
various current techniques/methods for
incorporation of FACTS controllers in PSs through
all over world. In (Chintu Rza Makkar, 2010),
summarized the various robust control techniques
for the enhancement of TS of a large PS. FACTS
controllers are being used to damp out the power
system oscillations. In (Lijun Cai), concerned the
optimization and coordination of the conventional
FACTS damping controllers in multi‐machine PS.
Firstly, the parameters of FACTS controller are
optimized. Then, a hybrid FL controller for the
coordination of FACTS controllers is presented.
This coordination method is well suitable to series
connected FACTS devices like UPFC, TCSC etc. in
damping multi‐modal oscillations in multi‐
machine PSs.
4) SSVS
In (G. Ramana, 2011), presented an exhaustive
review of various concept of VI, main causes of VI,
classification of VS, dynamic and static VS analysis
techniques, modeling, shortcomings, in PSs
environments. It also reviews various current
techniques/methods for analysis of VS in PSs
through all over world. This literature presented a
comprehensive review on the research and
developments in the PS stability enhancement
using FACTS damping controllers. In (Mohammed
Osman Hassan, 2009), SS modeling of SVC and
TCSC for power flow studies has been represented
and discussed in details. Firing angle model for
SVC was proposed to control the voltage at which
it is connected. In same manner firing angle model
for TCSC is used to control AP flow of the line to
which TCSC is installed. The proposed models take
firing angle as state variable in power flow
formulation. In recent years, power demand has
increased substantially while the expansion of
power generation and transmission has been
severely limited due to limited resources and
environmental restrictions. As a consequence,
some transmission lines are heavily loaded and the
PS stability becomes a power transfer‐limiting
factor. FACTS (M. A. Abido, 2009)‐(G. Ramana,
2011) controllers have been mainly used for solving
various PS‐SS control problems. However, recent
studies reveal that FACTS controllers could be
employed to enhance PS stability in addition to
their main function of power flow control. The
literature shows an increasing interest in this
subject for the last two decades, where the
enhancement of PS stability using FACTS
controllers has been extensively investigated. In PS,
one most crucial problem is maintaining PS
stability. The main reason for occurring stability
problem in the system is due to the sudden
increase in load power as well as any fault occurs
in the system. There are different types of
controllers used in the literature to maintain the
stability of the system; among them FACTS
controller (A. Satheesh, 2012) plays a major role.
Among the different types of FACTS controllers,
STATCOM, SSSC, UPFC, TCSC etc, are the most
commonly used controllers. To maintain the
stability of the system, finding the location for
fixing the FACTS controller and also the amount of
voltage and angle to be injected is more important.
By considering the aforesaid drawback, here a
hybrid technique is proposed for identifying the
location for fixing FACTS controller and the
amount of voltage and angle to be injected in the
system in order to maintain the system stability.
The hybrid technique includes NN and PSO.
presented a review of several literatures in
regarding with various interaction problems and
various techniques/methods for coordinated
control between PSS and FACTS controllers or
FACTS to fact controllers in multi machine PS
environments and also review of the various
techniques/methods for optimal choice and
allocation of FACTS controllers in multi machine
PS environments. FACTS are an option to mitigate
the problem of overloaded lines due to increased

214
electric power transmission by controlling power
flows and voltages. To avoid mutual influences
among several devices placed in the same grid, a
coordinated control is indispensable. In (G.
Glanzmann), a supervisory controller based on
OPF with multiple objectives is derived in order to
avoid congestion, provide secure transmission and
minimize AP losses. The contributions of SVC,
TCSC and TCPST in this coordinated control and
the achieved improvements compared with the
case where no FACTS devices are in operation are
demonstrated. In (L J Cai), the simultaneous
coordinated tuning of the FACTS‐POD controller
and the conventional PSS controllers in multi‐
machine PSs. Using the linearized system model
and the parameter‐constrained nonlinear
optimization algorithm, interactions among FACTS
controller and PSS controllers are considered. In
(Sang‐Gyun Kang, 2010), presented a centralized
control algorithm for PS performance in the Korean
PS using FACTS devices. The algorithm is applied
to the Korean PS throughout the metropolitan area
in order to alleviate inherent stability problems,
especially concerns with VS. Generally, control
strategies are divided into local and centralized
control. In (Tariq Masood, 2010), has been
investigated the behavior of STATCOM against
SVC controller by setting up new control
parameters. Essentially, STATCOM, and SVC
linear operating ranges of the V‐I and V‐Q as well
as their functional compensation capabilities have
been addressed to meet operational requirement
with certain degree of sustainability and reliability.
Hereby, the other operating parameters likewise TS,
response time, capability to exchange AP and
Power Losses have also been addressed in
STATCOM against SVC control models.
6) Protection
PSs are subjected to a wide range of small or larger
disturbances during operating conditions. Small
changes in loading conditions occur continually.
The PS must adjust to these changing conditions
and continue to operate satisfactorily and within
the desired bounds of voltage and frequency. The
PS should be designed to survive larger types of
disturbances, such as faults, loss of a large
generator, or line switching. Certain system
disturbances may cause loss of synchronism
between a generator and the rest of the utility
system, or between interconnected PSs of
neighboring utilities. If such a loss of synchronism
occurs, it is imperative that the generator or system
areas operating asynchronously are separated
immediately to avoid widespread outages and
equipment damage (Demetrios A. Tziouvaras). The
presence of series connected FACTS devices like
TCSC, TC‐PST and UPFC etc. can drastically effect
the performance of a distance relay in a two
terminal system connected by a double‐circuit
transmission line. The control characteristics of the
series connected FACTS devices, their locations on
the transmission line, the fault resistance especially
the higher ones make this problem more severe
and complicated (P K Dash, 2000). In (Mohamed
Zellagui, 2012), has been presented a study on the
performances of distance relays setting in 400 kV in
Eastern Algerian transmission networks at
Sonelgaz Group (Algerian Company of Electricity)
compensated by shunt FACTS. The FACTS are
used for controlling transmission voltage, power
flow, reactive power, and damping of PS
oscillations in high power transfer levels.
References (Fadhel A Albasri, 2007), presented a
comparative study of the performance of distance
relays for transmission lines compensated by shunt
connected FACTS controllers/ devices. The
objective of this study is to evaluate the
performance of various distance protection
schemes on transmission lines with shunt‐FACTS
devices applied for midpoint voltage control. The
impact of two types of shunt FACTS devices, SVC
and STATCOM on the transmission line distance
protection schemes is studied for different fault
types, fault locations and system conditions.
FACTS (Kishor Porate, 2009) devices are installed
in the transmission network to divert the power
flow, minimize the power losses and to improve
the line performance but it has some limitations
and drawbacks. Distributed‐FACTS is a improved
version of FACTS devices which is used to
improve the security and reliability of the network
in a cost effective manner. In (Mohamed Zellagui,
2012), has been presented a comparative study of
the performance of distance relays for transmission
line high voltage (HV) 400 kV in Eastern Algerian
transmission networks at Group Sonelgaz
compensated by two different series FACTS i.e.
GTO GCSC and TCSC connected at midpoint of an
electrical transmission line. The facts are used for
controlling transmission voltage, power flow,

215
reactive power, and damping of power system
oscillations in high power transfer levels.
7) APTC
The necessity to deliver cost effective energy in the
power market has become a major concern in this
emerging technology era. Therefore, establishing a
desired power condition at the given points are
best achieved using power controllers such as the
well known HVDC and FACTS devices. HVDC is
used to transmit large amounts of power over long
distances. The factors to be considered are Cost,
Technical Performance and Reliability. A FACTS
(M. Ramesh, 2011) is a system composed of static
equipment used for the AC transmission of
electrical energy. It is meant to enhance
controllability and increase power transfer
capability of the network. It is generally a power
electronics‐based system. A UPFC is a FACTS
device for providing fast‐acting RP compensation
on high voltage electricity transmission networks.
The UPFC is a versatile controller which can be
used to control AP and RP flows in a transmission
line.  Singh, B., et al. (Bindeshwar Singh, 2010), has
been presented a comprehensive survey of
incorporation of FACTS controller such as SVC,
TCSC, SSSC, STATCOM, UPFC, and IPFC devices
in NRFL for power flow control. FACTS
technology opens up new opportunity for
operation and control of power system. Out of the
various FACTS devices (viz TCSC, TCPST, UPFC
etc.), the right choices for the maximization of
power flow in power system network demands
attention which helps to achieve the active power
flow up to their line limits without any constraint
violation and with optimal investment on FACTS
devices.  In (A K Chakraborty, 2011), an algorithm
has been developed for right choices of various
combination of FACTS in the power network to
enhance the power transfer capability of existing
lines under normal condition very close to their
line limits and has been applied for modified IEEE
14‐ bus system. Congestion of transmission
capability often 1imits the operation of power
markets. Because of the substantial costs that such
congestion causes and difficulties in improving
transfer capacity through transmission expansion,
FACTS devices (M ats Larsson, 2005) are
increasingly often considered as short‐term
solutions to congestion problems. This paper
shows that such FACTS devices are most often not
used to their  ful1  potential  unless  equipped  with
control systems based on wide‐area measurements.
In a deregulated utility environment, financial and
market forces will demand a more optimal and
profitable operation of the power system with
respect to generation, transmission, and
distribution. Power electronic based equipment,
such as FACTS (John J. Paserba, 2000), HVDC, and
Custom Power technologies constitute some of the
most‐promising technical advancements to address
the new operating challenges being presented
today.  In (J. Amratha Manohar, 2011), presents an
efficient method for calculation of Transfer
Capability adopting Breadth First Search
Algorithm. The Breadth First Search Algorithm like
Dijkstraʹs algorithmsʹ is a graphical approach to
determine the optimum operating state of the
network and thereby calculate the Available
Transfer Capability of the Transmission lines and
areas. Several methods have been developed for
determining Available Transfer Capability. In
(Adepoju G. A., 2011), presented the results of
power flow analysis of Nigerian power system
incorporating FACTS controllers such as
STATCOM, HVDC‐VSC and UPFC for voltage
magnitude control, active and reactive power flow
control. In (A. Abu‐Siada, 2012), has been
investigated different approaches to improve the
power transfer capability (PTC) of transmission
lines. Study was performed on the Eastern Gold
Fields (EGF) area of the Western Power network in
Western Australia where power transfer to this
area is currently enhanced using four saturable
reactor‐SVCs installed in this region. These SR
SVCs have reached to the end of operational life
and they are scheduled for replacement by
different dynamic reactive power devices such as
STATCOMs or SVCs TSVCs. In (Claudio A.
Canizares, 2000), presented transient stability and
power models of TCR and VSI based FACTS
Controllers. Models of the SVC, the TCSC, the
STATCOM, the SSSC, and the UPFC appropriate
for voltage and angle stability studies are discussed
in detail. With the restructuring of electrical power
industry there has been great interest computation
of (ATC) of power systems. In (Xiao‐Ping Zhang,
2002), the mathematical models of FACTS
controllers such as STATCOM,SSSC, UPFC and the
latest IPFC and GUPFC are established and a
nonlinear optimization framework with
comprehensive modeling of these facts controllers
is proposed.

8) Optimal Location of FACTS controllers
presented an exhaustive review of various
methods/techniques for coordinated control
between FACTS controllers in multi‐machine
power systems. It also reviews various techniques/
methods for optimal choice and allocation of
FACTS controllers. To enhance power system
transient stability, shunt FACTS (Ahsanul Alam)
devices can be controlled in discontinuous mode or
in a combination of discontinuous and continuous
mode. In continuous mode proportional controller
is usually used. In (Nikhlesh Kumar, 2003), a new
method called the extended voltage phasors
approach (EVPA) is proposed for placement of
FACTS controllers in power systems. While the
voltage phasors approach (VPA) identifies only the
critical paths from the voltage stability viewpoint,
the proposed method additionally locates the
critical buses/line segments. The results of EVPA
are compared with the well‐established line flow
index (LFI) method for nine‐bus, 39‐bus, and 68‐
bus systems. It is shown that the EVPA provides
accurate indication for the placement of FACTS
controllers in power systems. Shunt FACTS device
such as SVC and STATCOM (M Kowsalya, 2009),
when placed at the midpoint of a long transmission
line, play an important role in controlling the
reactive power flow to the power network and
hence both the system voltage fluctuations and
transient stability. The introduction of FACTS
(Prakash G. Burade, 2005‐2010) in a power system
improves the stability, reduces the losses, reduces
the cost of generation and also improves the
loadability of the system. Reference (K
Vijayakumar, 2005‐2007), presented a novel
method for optimal location of FACTS controllers
in a multi machine power system using GA. Using
the proposed method, the location of FACTS
controller, their type and rated values are
optimized simultaneously. Among the various
FACTS controllers, TCSC and UPFC are considered.
The proposed algorithm is an effective method for
finding the optimal choice and location of FACTS
controller and also in minimizing the overall
system cost, which comprises of generation cost
and investment cost of FACTS controller using GA
and conventional NRFL method. The FACTS in a
power system plays a vital role in improving the
power system performance, both the static and
dynamic, where improving the stability, reducing
the losses and the cost of generation, also
enhancing the system loading capability with
rerouting the power flow in the network. In order
to reach the above goals, these devices must be
located optimally. In the proposed work, the
sensitivity of system loading factor, corresponding
to the real and reactive power balance equations
with respect to the control parameters of FACTS
(Rakhmad Syfutra Rubis), technique plus N‐1
contingency criterion with some considerations
that fitting with formation of the network are used
to consider the location and type of the devices.
Furthermore the optimal location and parameter
are tested and found with the nonlinear predictor‐
corrector primal‐dual interior‐point OPF algorithm.
Shunt FACTS devices are used for controlling
transmission voltage, power flow, reducing
reactive losses, and damping of power system
oscillations for high power transfer levels. In (P R
Sharma, 2007), the optimal location of a shunt
FACT device is investigated for an actual line
model of a transmission line having series
compensation at the center. Effect of change in
degree of series compensation on the optimal
location of the shunt FACTS device to get the
highest possible benefit is studied. It is found that
the optimal location of the shunt FACTS device
varies with the change in the level of series
compensation to get the maximum benefit in terms
of APTC and stability of the system. Singh, B., et al.
(Bindeshwar Singh, 2011), presented a state‐of‐the‐
art on enhancement of different performance
parameters of power systems by optimally placed
Distributed Generation (DG) & FACTS controllers
in power Systems. In (M Santiago‐ Luna, 2006), an
algorithm for optimally locating FACTS controllers
in a power system is presented. The proposed
methodology is based on EA known as Evolution
strategies (ES). In (Naresh Acharya), presented
various facts related to the landmark development:
practical installations, benefits and application of
FACTS controllers in the electric utilities. The
history of development of these devices is
presented along with the information regarding the
first utility installation/demonstration of FACTS
devices.
9) Others
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is coming forth
as an attractive public key cryptosystem for
mobile/wireless environments compared to
conventional cryptosystems like RSA and DSA.

217
ECC provides better security with smaller key sizes,
which results in faster computations, lower power
consumption, as well as memory and bandwidth
savings. However, the true impact of any public‐
key cryptosystem can only be evaluated in the
perspective of a security protocol. The digital
signature is the requisite way to ensure the security
of web services and has great implication in
practical applications. By using a digital signature
algorithm we can provide authenticity and
validation to the electronic document. ECDSA and
ECDH use the concept of ECC (Shipra Shukla,
2012). Modern power systems are continuously
being expanded and upgraded to cater the need of
ever growing power demand. But, in recent years,
energy planners have faced financial and
environmental difficulties in expanding the power
generation and transmission systems. These
difficulties included limited available energy
resources, time and capital required and also the
land use restrictions etc. These situations have
forced planning engineers to look for new
techniques for improving the performance of
existing power system. This is a review paper to
analyze the current trends in FACTS and D‐FACTS
to improve the performance of power system
performance. It contains work which has been
carried out by various researchers in the field of
FACTS and D‐FACTS (V. Kakkar, 2010). In (John J.
Paserba),provided a summary of one of the three
planned presentations on the topic of “FACTS
Fundamentals,” for a session sponsored by the DC
and FACTS Education Working Group, under the
DC and FACTS Subcommittee of the T&D
Committee. This paper is on Part I of the session
and focuses on a summary of the issues and
benefits of applying FACTS controllers to AC
power systems. The overall process for system
studies and analysis associated with FACTS
installation projects and the need for FACTS
controller models is also discussed. Singh, B., et al.
(John J. Paserba), has been presented a critical
review on different application of Phasor
Measurement Units (PMUs) in electric power
system networks incorporated with FACTS
controllers for advanced power system monitoring,
protection, and control. Also this paper presents
the current status of the research and
developments in the field of the applications of
PMUs in electric power system networks
incorporated with FACTS controllers. The perfor‐
mance of power systems decreases with the size,
the loading and the complexity of the networks.
This is related to problems with load flow, power
oscillations and voltage quality. Such problems are
even deepened by the changing situations resulting
from deregulation of the electrical power markets,
where contractual power flows do no more follow
the initial design criteria of the existing network
configuration. Additional problems can arise in
case of large system interconnections, especially
when the connecting AC links are weak. FACTS
devices, however, provide the necessary features to
avoid technical problems in the power systems and
they increase the transmission efficiency (D. Povh,
2003). In (Bindeshwar Singh, 2010), presented an
exhaustive review of various methods/techniques
for coordinated control between FACTS controllers
in multi‐machine power systems. Power flow
models of Convertible Static Compensators for
large‐scale power systems are investigated. Two
families of multi‐configuration and multi‐
functional FACTS controllers, including IPFC and
GUPFC, are considered in details. Mathematical
models of the IPFC and GUPFC based on d‐q axis
reference frame decomposition have been derived.
A unified procedure to incorporate IPFC and
GUPFC (Sheng‐Huei Lee) models into the
conventional NRFL solver is developed. The
development of the modern power system has led
to an increasing complexity in the study of power
systems, and also presents new challenges to
power system stability, and in particular, to the
aspects of transient stability and small‐signal
stability. Transient stability control plays a
significant role in ensuring the stable operation of
power systems in the event of large disturbances
and faults, and is thus a significant area of research.
In (D Murali, 2010), investigated the improvement
of transient stability of a two‐area power system,
using UPFC which is an effective FACTS device
capable of controlling the active and reactive
power flows in a transmission line by controlling
appropriately its series and shunt parameters.
Electricity market activities and a growing demand
for electricity have led to heavily stressed power
systems. This requires operation of the networks
closer to their stability limits. Cost effective
solutions are preferred over network extensions.
The FACTS, a new technology based on power
electronics, offers an opportunity to enhance
controllability, stability, and power transfer

218
capability of ac transmission systems (Pavlos S.
Georgilakis, 2011).
Congestion of cross‐border transmission capabi‐
lities often limits the operation of power markets.
Because of the substantial costs that such
congestion cause, and difficulties in improving
transfer capacity through transmission expansion,
FACTS (Mats Larsson, 2004) devices are
increasingly often considered as short‐term
solutions to congestion problems. In (Mats Larsson,
2004), showed that such FACTS devices are most
often not used to their full potential unless
equipped with control systems based on wide‐area
measurements. The presented novel control
strategies that coordinate and optimize the
setpoints of several FACTS devices to achieve
optimum benefit from FACTS installations in terms
of steady‐state loadability increase. Recently, GA
and Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm
technique have attracted considerable attention
among various modern heuristic optimization
techniques. Since the two approaches are supposed
to find a solution to a given objective function but
employ different strategies and computational
effort, it is appropriate to compare their
performance. In (A K Balirsingh, 2011), presented
the application and performance comparison of DE
and Gam optimization techniques, for FACTS‐
based controller design.
Power electronics based controllers, built on solid
state silicon switches, offer control of the power
grid with the speed and precision of a
microprocessor, but at a power level of 500 million
times higher. They allow utilities to direct power
along specific corridors, aligning the physical flow
of power with commercial transactions. In a multi
terminal system, HVDC (P V Chopade, 2007) can
also be connected at several points with the
surrounding three‐phase network. The fast
development of power electronics based on new
and powerful semiconductor devices has led to
innovative technologies, such as HVDC and
FACTS, which can be applied in transmission and
distribution systems. The technical and economical
benefits of these technologies represent an
alternative to the application in ac systems.
Deregulation in the power industry and opening of
the market for delivery of cheaper energy to the
customers is creating additional requirements for
the operation of power systems. HVDC and FACTS
offer major advantages in meeting these require‐
ments (Dusan Povh, 2000). In (Ajit Kumar Verma),
proposed an optimization model to use in
composite power system reliability evaluation
method incorporating the impact of FACTS devices.
The conventional dc flow‐based linear
programming model used in composite system
reliability evaluation method is converted into a
non‐linear optimization model to include the
impact of FACTS devices on reliability of power
system. Power electronic loads introduce harmonic
currents into the utility power system. This paper
presents harmonic reduction techniques, which
satisfy the current harmonic limits. The techniques
which are considered here, are active filter, hybrid
filter and zig‐zag transformer rectifier as FACTS
controllers. According to rectifying or inverting
operation of HVDC converters, reactive power is
absorbed from the bus in which the converter is
connected. In either case of operation reactive
power compensation in AC side of converters is
quite necessary. In addition to reactive power
compensation, due to nonlinear behavior of power
electronics converters (Sardar Ali, 2009). The
electric power supply industry, with more than 100
years history, has evolved into one of the largest
industries. Secure and reliable operation of the
electric power system is fundamental to economy,
social security and quality of modern life. The
complicated power grid is now facing severe
challenges to meet the high level secure and
reliable operation requirements, which include lack
of transmission capability, restraints by a
competitive market environment, and power
infrastructure vulnerability. New technologies will
play a major role in helping today’s electric power
industry to meet the above challenges. In (Li
Zhang), has been focused on some key
technologies among them, including the emerging
technologies of energy storage, controlled power
electronics and wide area measurement
technologies. Those technologies offer an
opportunity to develop the appropriate objectives
for power system control. In bulk power
transmission systems, the use of power electronics
based devices with energy storage system
integrated into them, such as FACTS/ESS, can
provide valuable added benefits to improve
stability, PQ, and reliability of power systems.
There is a lack of scientific mechanisms to guide
their technical decisions making process, even
though many electric utilities in the U.S. and all
over the world are beginning to implement

219
FACTS/ESS for many different applications. The
study has been provided several guidelines for the
implementation of FACTS/ESS in bulk power
systems. The interest of this study lies in a wide
range of FACTS/ESS technology applications in
bulk power system to solve some special problems
that were not solved well without the application
of FACTS/ESS. The special problems we select to
solve by using FACTS/ESS technology in this study
include power quality problem solution by active
power compensation; electrical arc furnace (EAF)
induced problems solution, inter‐area mode low
frequency oscillation iii suppression, coordination
of under frequency load shedding (UFLS) and
under frequency governor control (UFGC), wide
area voltage control. From this study, the author of
this dissertation reveals the unique role that
FACTS/ESS technology can play in the bulk power
system stability control and power quality
enhancement in power system. This study
presented a comprehensive review of various
methods/techniques for incorporation of
differential algebraic equations (DAE) model of
FACTS controllers and different type of loads such
as a static, dynamic, and composite load model in
large‐scale emerging power systems for enhance‐
ment of loadability of power system networks
(bindeshwar Singh, 2010). In (Lamia Kartobi),
presented a simple method to simultaneously tune
FACTS in multi‐machine power systems. The
proposed approach employs GA and PSO.
Extended interconnected systems experience
stability problems and inter‐area oscillations,
which can lead to system interruptions.
Furthermore, long distance ac transmission
requires RP compensation, introducing stability
constrains that limit transmitted power. These
conditions can be improved by the use of FACTS
controllers. These improvements can be predicted
by the proper simulation of FACTS controllers,
which include all controls and a detailed
representation of the system (Dussan Povh, 2000).
In (John J. Paserba), provided a summary of one of
the three planned presentations on the topic of
“FACTS Fundamentals,” for a session sponsored
by the DC and FACTS Education Working Group,
under the DC and FACTS Subcommittee of the
T&D Committee. This paper is on Part I of the
session and focuses on a summary of the issues
and benefits of applying FACTS controllers to AC
power systems. The overall process for system
studies and analysis associated with FACTS
installation projects and the need for FACTS
controller models is also discussed. In (Laslzlo
Gyugi, 2000), presented the switching‐converter‐
based approach to FACTS from an application
viewpoint. It is shown that this approach, apart
from providing superior performance character‐
ristics when applied for shunt and series reactive
compensation, also offers modular expandability
and functional convertibility for comprehensive
real and reactive power flow, as well as voltage
control, for a single transmission line or for a multi‐
line network, making system‐wide optimization
and maximum asset utilization possible. In
(Bindeshwar Singh, 2009‐2011)‐(Bindeshwar Singh,
2010), presented a comprehensive review on
enhancement of power system stability such as
rotor angle stability, frequency stability, and
voltage stability by using different FACTS
controllers such as TCSC, SVC, SSSC, STATCOM,
UPFC, IPFC in an integrated power system
networks. Also this paper presents the current
status of the research and developments in the field
of the power system stability such as rotor angle
stability, frequency stability, and voltage stability
enhancement by using different FACTS controllers
in an integrated power system networks. In
(Nanda Kumar Easwaramoorhty, 2012), presented
a new approach for optimal location of FACTS
controllers in a multi machine PS using MATLAB
coding. Using the proposed method, the location of
FACTS controller, their type and rated values are
optimized simultaneously. Among the various
FACTS controllers, TCSC and UPFC are considered.
In (Bindeshwar Singh, 2011), presented a critical
review on different application of PMUs in electric
PS networks incorporated with FACTS controllers
for advanced PS monitoring, protection, and
control. In recent years, power demand has
increased substantially while the expansion of
power generation and transmission has been
severely limited due to limited resources and
environmental restrictions. As a consequence,
some transmission lines are heavily loaded and the
system stability becomes a power transfer‐limiting
factor. FACTS controllers have been mainly used
for solving various PS‐SS control problems.
However, recent studies reveal that FACTS (M A
Abido, 2009) controllers could be employed to
enhance PS stability in addition to their main
function of power flow control. In (Sidhartha
Panda, 2007), presented a systematic procedure for
modelling and simulation of a PS installed with a

220
PSS and a FACTS‐based controller. The strong
resonance phenomenon noticed in PSs with mode
coupling is characterized by coincidence both of
eigenvalues and eigenvectors. It is a precursor to
the oscillatory instability and hence it is necessary
to consider the effect of strong resonance on the
coupled modes while designing a damping
controller for a system. The work presented in (H V
Sai Kumar, 2008) aims at tuning supplementary
modulation controllers for two FACTS controllers
(each considered separately) to enhance the
stability of a 2‐machine system, which experiences
a near‐resonance phenomenon due to modal
interaction when the power dispatch of the
generators is varied (H V Sai Kumar, 2008). FACTS
(A K Chakraborty, 2011) technology opens up new
opportunity for operation and control of PS. Out of
the various FACTS devices (viz‐TCSC, TCPST,
UPFC etc.), the right choices for the maximization
of power flow in PS network demands attention
which helps to achieve the AP flow up to their line
limits without any constraint violation and with
optimal investment on FACTS devices. In (Naresh
Acharya, 2007), proposed two new methodologies
for the placement of series FACTS devices in
deregulated electricity market to reduce congestion.
SVC (Irinjila Kirti Karan, 2011) involved the
management of RP for the improvement of electric
PS performance. Adequate RP control solves PQ
problems like flat VP maintenance at all power
transmission levels, and improvement of power
factor, transmission efficiency and PS stability.
Series and Shunt VAR compensation techniques
are used to modify the natural electrical
characteristics of electric PS. Series compensation
modifies the reactance parameter of the
transmission or distribution system, while shunt
compensation changes the equivalent load
impedance. In both cases, the line RP can be
effectively controlled thereby improving the
performance of the overall electric PS. In
(Bindeshwar Singh, 2011), presented a
comprehensive survey on the mitigation of PQ
problems such as low power factor, shortage of RP,
poor voltage, voltage and current harmonics due to
sudden change in field excitation of synchronous
alternator, sudden increased in load, sudden fault
occur in the system are solved by FACTS
controllers such as STATCOM, DSTATCOM, and
D2STATCOM. In emerging electric PSs, increased
transactions often lead to the situations where the
system no longer remains in secure operating
region. The FACTS controllers can play an
important role in the PS security enhancement.
However, due to high capital investment, it is
necessary to locate these controllers optimally in
the PS. FACTS devices can regulate the AP and RP
control as well as adaptive to voltage‐magnitude
control simultaneously because of their flexibility
and fast control characteristics. Placement of these
devices in suitable location can lead to control in
line flow and maintain bus voltages in desired
level and so improve VP margins (Ch. Rambabu,
2011).
Third Generation of FACTS Controllers
The following FACTS controllers are coming in third
generation as follows:
1) FMRL
follows:
1) TS
The parameters of PS slowly change with time due
to environmental effects or may change rapidly
due to faults. It is preferable that the control
technique in this system possesses robustness for
various fault conditions and disturbances. The
used FACTS in [226] such as advanced super‐
conducting magnetic energy storage (ASMES).
Many control techniques that use ASMES to
improve PS stability have been proposed.
2) PS Stability
Various control techniques using ASMES
(Abdellatif Naceri, 2008) aimed at improving PS
stability have been proposed. As FL controller has
proved its value in some applications, the number
of investigations employing FL controller with
ASMES has been greatly increased over recent
period.
2) HPFC
follows:
1) TS
Recently, a novel HPFC topology for FACTS has
been proposed (Lini Mathew, 2012).
2) RP
In (Rakesh Babu, 2011), reported the investigation

221
on the implementation of control technique based
on Adaptive Back stepping Controller in a PS
incorporating the HPFC (Rakesh Babu, 2011). The
objective is to archive effective control of the AP
and RP flow in the line with minimum or zero
dynamic interactions between them.
3) Others
Two novel power flow controller topologies are
proposed for FACTS controllers such as UPFC. The
first one consists of a shunt connected source of RP,
and two series connected VSC one on each side of
the shunt device. The second topology is a dual of
the first; it is based on two shunt connected VSCs
around a series connected reactive element. In both
cases the converters can exchange AP through a
common DC circuit. Both topologies make
combined use of passive components and
converters and can therefore be regarded as hybrid.
Employing hybrid topologies enables use of
converters to enhance the functionality of existing
equipment in a PS (Jovan Z. Bebic, 2006).
Combined FACTS Controllers
UPFC, GUPFC, IPFC, and HPFC
In (Bindeshwar Singh, 2012), presented a state‐of‐the‐
art on enhancement of different performance
parameters of PSs such as VP, damping of oscillations,
load ability, reduce the AP and RP losses, SSR
problems, TS, and dynamic performance, by optimally
placed of FACTS controllers such as TCSC, SVC,
STATCOM, SSSC, UPFC, IPFC, HPFC in WP Systems.
In (Bindeshwar Singh, 2011), presented the
introduction of various FACTS controllers such as
SVC, TCSC, TCPAR or TCPAT, SSSC, STATCOM,
UPFC, IPFC, GUPFC, HPFC for operation, control,
planning & protection from different performance
point of view such as increased the loadability,
improve the VP, minimize the AP losses, increased the
APTC, enhance the TS and SSVS, and flexible
operations of PSs.
