This course covers Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) devices, which can be employed to improve stability and increase the load-carrying capacity of a high-voltage electric system.

There are many types of FACTS devices, and several devices are discussed in this series. Volume I of this two-volume series explains the basics of electric power system operation and provides an overview of the FACTS controllers, and offers an in-depth look at one of the earliest FACTS devices, which is the Static Var Compensator (VAR).

Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained

This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • The concepts of FACTS devices
  • How FACTS devices can increase power transfer
  • The operational limitations of HVAC transmission systems
  • The types of compensation techniques
  • The operation of a static var compensator (SVC)

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 29 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
