Power Loss Reduction in a Transmission System by Using FACTS Devices

The electrical power system represents a complex technical creation that is characterized by the same frequency on all elements of the system at any given moment. 43 transmission system operators from 36 countries are led by the ENTSO- E organization and together form the Continental Synchronous Area. The growth of energy consumption further increases the current in transmission lines and losses with it. Reduction of electrical losses in transmission decreases usage of primary energy needed for electrical energy generation. Economic management of space, population growth and limited area for transmission infrastructure call for a more intelligent usage of existing resources. The need for intelligent and directed transmission led to the development of Alternating Current Transmission Systems – FACTS. Implementation of FACTS devices enables power flow control, reduction of power losses and power oscillation damping. The benefits of FACTS device implementation is analyzed on a real electrical power system.
