Thyristor-Based Facts Controllers for Electrical Transmission Systems, Hardcover by Mathur, R. Mohan; Varma, Rajiv K., ISBN 0471206431, ISBN-13 9780471206439, Brand New, Free shipping in the US

Describes the operating principles of flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) controllers that can help stabilize electrical power systems, augment system damping, alleviate subsynchrous resonance, prevent voltage instability, and improve high voltage direct current terminal performance. Separate chapters address static VAR compensators (SVC) and thyristor controlled series capacitors (TCSC). Control design techniques are illustrated by case studies. The coordination of multiple FACTS controllers of both similar and dissimilar types is also presented. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
