Abstract

Over the past few decades, FACTS technology has been developed rapidly. And various FACTS controllers have been widely used in the world. This paper presents the development and status of FACTS technology, and introduces the applications of FACTS controllers, especially the typical domestic applications. The key technologies such as system design, control strategy design, equipment development, etc. are summarized. Then, in view of the demands and challenges of FACTS controllers, combined the trends of innovative technologies, the development trend and application prospect of FACTS technology are forecasted.
