Advantages of Using FACTS Controller in AC - HVDC Transmission Lines
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
The search for enhanced controllability of power on ac transmission networks was initiated by newly acquired current and power controllability in HVDC transmission. Replacement of mercury-arc valves by thyristors yielded robust ac / dc converters, minimized conversion losses, and yielded fast control on transmitted power so much so that line-to-ground fault clearing became possible without the use of circuit breakers. Instead, by rapidly attaining current zero through the use of current controllers and, in addition, by rapidly recovering the electromagnetic energy stored in the energized line, the faulted dc line could be isolated by low interruption rating isolators. The very fast power controllability in HVDC systems made them candidates for special applications in back-to-back configurations to control the power exchange between the networks they linked. The rapid control of power led to the added use of HVDC links for enhancing transient stability of connected systems through active-power damping. The enhancement in stability was accomplished by adding auxiliary signals in the current controllers of the converters.
