Abstract

This paper presents three options to control the power flows in a transmission network by using three FACTS devices, that is the Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC), Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) and Phase Shifting Transformer (PST). Simulations are performed in the Eurostag software on a database of the Romanian transmission system. The control is focused on the south-east area of the country, where a large amount of power was installed in wind power plants.
