Flexible AC Transmission System (ELFACT1)
What will I learn from this course?
You will be able to understand the basic alternating current (AC) power system and the reactive support – static versus dynamic reactive power, the need for and benefits of Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS). You will be able to identify and recognize the different FACTS solutions: MSC, MSR, SVC, STATCOM, FSC and the FACTS main components and their roles.
Topics
- FACTS definition
 - AC/DC current overview
 - Active and reactive power
 - How to connect reactive power solutions
 - Capacitor banks
 - Mechanical switched reactor (MSR)
 - Synchronous condensers
 - Static var compensator (SVC)
 - SVC design process and comparison
 - Thyristor control reactor (TCR)
 - Thyristor switch capacitor (TSC)
 - SVC & SVC key components: step down transformer, harmonic filter, cooling system, STATCOM & STATCOM key components: DC batteries, distribution board
 - MMC
 - Fixed Series Capacitors (FSC) key components
