Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of the studies typically required following the issue of the specification for a FACTS controller until the end of its life cycle. The chapter classifies this life cycle into four main phases: studies performed during the bid process, post-award studies during the design of the controller, studies performed for commissioning, and studies during the operational life of the FACTS controller. For each stage the chapter presents the objectives and the responsibilities of those requiring and performing the studies, including input data, the studies to be performed, the reason for the studies, and the use made of the study results.

Notes
- 1.
The Ride Through Criteria usually define a voltage or current profile during which the FACTS controller shall be capable of staying connected and following which it shall be capable of immediately resuming normal operation.
- 2.
The RMS model is effectively a fundamental frequency model.
- 3.
Some nuclear power plants can have a higher mode than 40 Hz (for a 50 Hz system).
