The power grid is aging, under-utilized and increasingly congested. Conventional solutions, such as flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) can be used to control power flow on the grid. However, widespread adoption of this technology has been hampered by high cost and reliability concerns. The concept of distributed FACTS (D-FACTS) devices, as an alternative approach to realizing cost-effective power flow control, has been recently proposed. This paper discusses the design considerations for implementing distributed power control solutions on the power grid, with specific examples for series VAR compensation, and the significant impact it can have on grid utilization and system reliability. The ability to use mature power conversion techniques demonstrates the potential for low-cost implementation.
