| Summary: | This technical guide is the second in a
series of four technical guides on variable renewable energy
(VRE) grid integration produced by the Energy Sector
Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) of the World Bank and
the Global Sustainable Electricity Partnership (GSEP). It
focuses on the main functionalities, differences and
benefits of various compensation devices that can be
employed to increase system transfer capacity, system
stability, power quality and flexibility to cope with
increasing penetrations of renewables in the system. The
applications of FACTS devices are associated with four
essential technical enhancements of system capacity, system
reliability, power quality and system controllability. The
application of the FACTS devices for these enhancements
would depend on the system needs which would be identified
and recommended through the power system studies during the
interconnection process. Power system studies are further
elaborated in "STUDIES FOR GRID CONNECTION OF VARIABLE
RENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATION PLANTS – Technical Guide 3". |
