Abstract

This paper presents an overview over different areas where FACTS devices can improve transmission system efficiency especially under the condition of liberalized electricity markets. Furthermore, a network example, is shown where the installation of Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) increases the transfer capacity into a region considerably while maintaining security margins. This can help to reduce or even eliminate congestion in a transmission network.
