Abstract

FACTS systems provide a well proven solution for actual different power system problems. FACTS devices can be effectively used for reactive power support, enhance controllability, improve stability and increase power transfer capability of AC transmission systems. This paper analyses the utilisation of FACTS systems in the expansion project of a mine, as an environmental solution for optimizing existing exploitations instead of opening new mines.
