Flexible AC Transmission System (ELFACT1)

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
