Mitigation of Power Quality Problems Using FACTS Devices: A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
The power quality issue will take new dimension due to power system restructuring and shifting trend towards distributed generation. Huge loss in terms of time and money have made power quality problems a major anxiety for modern industries with non-linear loads in electrical power system. Power quality consists of a large number of disturbances such as voltage sags, swells, harmonics, notch, flicker, etc. Power quality problems can be mitigated by many methods but most appropriate solution to mitigate these problems are FACTS devices. In this paper a brief survey of FACTS devices are presented which are used to mitigate power quality problems.
