powerfactorcorrection and powerqualityimprovement using fc-tcr based facts controller
by anil mahesh
The work deals with power factor improvement by the use of FC-TCR compensator. The circuit is first designed, simulated using MATLAB software to verify the effectiveness of FC-TCR controller. The filters which are essential for eliminating harmonics are designed and simulated using MATLAB. Fuzzy logic control scheme is developed for the simulation of closed loop operation of the system.

Test cases and software written in Matlab1 code is provided for each controller to enable the reader to gain ample experience with the various models provided.
In my opinion, PSCAD/EMTDC is one of the best simulation software for modeling of FACTS devices. I have been using it for 8 years for SVC, STATCOM, harmonic filter etc. modeling and analysis. The user is able to see both the steady-state and transient-state performance of the systems.
As said above. PSCAD and MATLAB/SIMULINK can be used for FACTS devices modeling. May be components of a FACTS device are less in PSCAD as compared to MATLAB/SIMULINK.

Abstract
--The modernization of the current power grid has brought forward many requirements in order to make possible the vision of a smarter grid. This paper presents these challenges and the current achievements in order to aid in its
transformation. It identifies developing applications within the power network; from centralized generation to distribution in terms of power electronics, power systems, and communications.
A summary of the current undergoing studies in a lab setting geared towards solving the needs of the smart grid is described.
Furthermore, a case study which emphasizes the communication, control, and simulation aspects for the smart grid is expressed and results are displayed in detail.
