Methods for Increasing the Quality and Reliability of Power System Using Facts Devices

The thesis will try to summarise the major power system problems and the important role of the FACTS devices to enhance the power system quality. Various optimal control schemes will be designed for systems with series, shunt and series-shunt converters with the objective to control the load flow through a lines and to eliminate current harmonics and voltage flickers with different strategies for tracking.
