ABSTRACT
The philosophy of FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) is to use power electronic controlled devices to control power flow in transmission network to utilize to its full capacity.
FACTS is one of the best ways to reduce the need for construction of new over head transmission lines is to increase power flow over existing lines.
Due to high capital cost of erection of new transmission line we have improved this technology called FACTS. By using this technology we can improve the power transfer capability of the transmission line and these devices have high switching capacity even at high frequencies as these devices have no moving parts we can achieve high sensitivity and better control. There are many types of FACTS controller devices out of them TCSC (Thyristor Control Series Capacitor) has more advantages than other types
