This paper analyzes the fault tolerant control of a power grid with FACTS devices. Control effectiveness measures the small signal combined controllability and observability of a power system with tolerance to prescribed contingencies. This paper also focuses on the roles of FACTS devices in affecting the grids redundancy architecture. Under the small-signal modeling framework of the paper and the previously defined notion of control effectiveness, it is shown that introduction of FACTS devices always improves system control effectiveness. The device placement results on a 9-bus system are studied for their control effectiveness.
