FACTS Devices in Indian Power System

Abstract

This paper aggressively tells about FACTS (Devices in Indian Power System) study whose full form is Flexible Alternative current Transmission System. FACTS is used as it is the best technology which is growing around to improve power transfer capabilities around us to improve the power transfer. FACT devices has its many benefits which are like if for a given transmission system we use it then it will improve the power transfer capability also enhances reliability, and not only provide security for system but also helps in maintaining the stability with better controlling abilities in power transmission networks with all these benefits it is economical which add an advantage for using this in existing network. After seeing such a growth and advantages of FACTS Devices has been system of attention due to which many developing countries like China, Australia, Brazil, etc. has adopted this technology. India is also one of the developing country whose demand of power is increasing rapidly so to provide that demand more efficiently Indian Power system is installing FACTS devices which is helping with great economy and also improving the transmission system. By this paper we have gone through the different surveys which shows that how India’s state electricity boards has installed and used FACTS devices in detailed manner.
