  • Modern FACTS controllers are being used to control the power through the current power transmission system. The power transfer can be controlled by using these devices in an efficient and effective manner in transmission lines. FACTS controllers are having some downsides i.e. their bulky size, higher cost, reliability and break-in the transmission line, which makes it obsolete to use in modern power system network. These downsides can be fulfilled by a new compound which is scalable, light weighted and cost effective devices that are distributed-FACTS (D-FACTS). D-FACTS controllers are distributed version of conventional lumped FACTS controllers and their cost is low due to lower ratings of component and reliability also increases due to redundancy of devices. Enhanced Power Flow Controller (EPFC) is all a D-FACTS device which is a distributed version of thyristor controlled series controller. This paper discusses extensive review about the EPFC and its application.
