Abstract

"Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) topologies are designed for the decentralized control of bulk transmission power flow. Integrating an energy storage system (ESS) into FACTS devices can provide additional flexibility to stabilize the transmission system. In this thesis, an ultracapacitor (UCAP) is introduced into the STATCOM as a potential replacement for traditional energy storage systems. This thesis provides experimental validation of the STATCOM/UCAP response and compares it to a STATCOM with battery energy storage"--Abstract, page iii.
