Abstract
This chapter describes Thyristor Controlled Reactor (TCR) and Voltage Sourced Converter (VSC) based Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices. In particular, the considered TCR-based FACTS devices are the static var compensator (Section 19.1) and the thyristor controlled series compensator (Section 19.2), whereas VSI-based FACTS devices are the static synchronous compensator (Section 19.3), the static synchronous series compensator (Section 19.4) and the unified power flow controller (Section 19.5).
