Power transmitted over two ac interconnected link:
Thus power transmitted over ac link can be influenced by threeparameters: Voltage, impedance, and voltage angle difference.The Conventional methods used to control these parametersmechanically are:
A) shunt reactors to improve voltage (V) by injecting reactive power atdesired location
B) switched series capacitors to reduce reactance (X) of transmissionline
-Owing to mechanical nature of control, the above methods providepower flow solution only under steady state or slowly load changingconditions. The dynamic state or fast load changing conditions, the
problems are usually handled by over-design. This results in under utilization of transmission lines.

VARIOUS FACTs CONTROLLERS
Broadly, FACTs controllers based on the type of compensation,can be classified into the following categories.
SHUNT COMPENSATION (control voltage)

SHUNT COMPENSATION USING FACTS
A shunt compensation is mainly used for reactive power and voltagecontrol. The static var compensator (SVC) generates or absorbs shuntreactive power at its point of connection.
SVC comprised of 1. Thyristor Controlled Reactor (TCR)2. Thyristor Switched Capacitor (TSC)
3. Fixed Capacitor (FC) + TCR

ADVANTAGES of SHUNT
COMPENSATION (SVC)i) Dynamic voltage stabilization: increases power transfer capability,
reduced volta e variation
ii) Synchronous stability improvement: increases transient stability,improved power system damping
iv) Steady state voltage support
► SVCs are rated in such a way that they are capablesystem voltage by at least 5%. Thus they can dynamicallyoperate from 10% to 20% of the short circuit power at pointof common coupling.
► SVCs are generally placed at mid point of high voltage,

SERIES COMPENSATION USING FACTS
The principle of the series compensation is to compensate thevoltage drop in the line by an inserting the capacitive voltage or in
line. The voltage series capacitor is proportional and in phasequadrature with the line current. The reactive power support isproportional to the square of the current.
THE ADVANTAGES OFFERED BY SERIES COMPENSATION ARE:1. Steady state voltage regulation and preventing voltage collapse
Capacitive voltage drop is proportional to line current Voltage regulation
By reducing line reactance, it prevents voltage collapse
2. Improving transient stability
Due to series capacitor, X reduces and P- curve shifts upward and this

WHY HVDC SYSTEMS?
HVDC is used to transmit large amounts of power over lon distances or for interconnections between
e r v ng ac ors o use ec no ogy are:
asynchronous grids
HVDC possesses inherent ability to control transmittedower in efficient and d namic wa
An overhead DC transmission line with its towers can bedesigned to be less costly per unit of length than anequivalent AC line designed to transmit the same level of electric power
Due to higher controllability HVDC systems are alsoused for stabilization of AC network
Import electric energy into congested load areas. Inareas where new generation is impossible to bring intoservice to meet load growth or replace inefficient or decommissioned plant, underground DC cabletransmission is a viable means to import electricity.

HVDC OPERATIONRdId

The basic concept in the control of an HVDC transmission is the possibility
to vary direct voltage across the converter by varying the phase position of
c ema c o monopo ar ransm ss on sys em
The firing angle can be changed over the range 0-180 deg. For 0-90 deg.Range, converter acts as rectifier and for 90-180 deg. Range, it acts asinverter.
At rectifier end, voltage is set to a higher direct voltage than that presentedby inverter to make the inverter valve to conduct and to flow the power
The direct current (Id) is forced alternatively into different phase windingsof the transformer connected to the converter operating as inverter and thusactive power is delivered to the ac network

In Monopolar HVDC, dc power is transmitted over single power conductor andground forms the return path. It consists of a single conductor connecting oneor more 12-pulse converter units in series or parallel. For relatively small ratings(50-100MW) back to back links are of monopolar design.
A bipolar HVDC system consists of two 12 pulse units in series with electrodelines (positive and negative). The two conductors change their polarity for bi-direction power flow. Bipolar HVDC systems are used for large interconnections

HVDC SYSTEMS IN INDIA
HVDC technology as compared toFACTs, is suitably exploited in India. InIndia there are five separate regions, with
a disparity of resource and demand anda wide variation of operating frequencyand voltage on a day-to-day basis. Tosynchronize any two was difficult for tworeasons: the need to maintain stabilityand the organization necessary toschedule power exchange. The needs of resource a ocat on ave owever demanded an ability to transfer power between them. To the large extent, theseproblems were solved using HVDC
ec no ogyIt is found that the grid would be
substantially strengthened through
capacity HVDC and EHVAC lines.
