` First proposed in 1994 by Wang Xifan and team.` A very promising long distance transmission approach.` Uses fractional frequency to reduce the electrical length of
the ac power line.` 50/3 Hz used in the study.` Reactance of the system is reduced.` Transmission capacity of the system increases by several
folds` Simulation study on magnetic frequency changer` Experimental installation carried out using 50/3 Hz
electricity using cycloconvertor.` Cycloconvertor is a new FACTS device.` Is specially useful for remote hydropower.

` Has 2 basic parameters
1. Voltage Conventionally voltage levels changed to guarantee
efficiency for different segments of the power system. Withthe invention of transformers voltage levels could bechanged easily.
2. Frequency In the history of electricity transmission many frequencies
were used such as 25Hz,50/3 and 133Hz.
50-60 Hz was selected as the standard. Changing frequency considered as taboo since to transformfrequency is more difficult than to transform voltage.

` With the recent advances in power electronictechniques different kinds of large frequencychangers are being developed rapidly. And thistrend may lead to use of different frequencies for
electricity transmission and utilization.
` Lower frequency electricity can be used totransmit larger power for longer distances.
` Higher frequency electricity can be used moreefficiently to drive the electric tools.

` There are three main factors:
` For long distance ac transmission
` Thermal limit` Stability limit
` Voltage drop limit
` Thermal limitation is not a significantimpediment.
` Its load ability mainly depends on the -Stability Limit & Voltage Drop Limit.

` Increasing transmission distance.
` Increasing transmission capacity.

Depends mainly on Raising the voltage level of transmission lines.
The highest voltage level at present in operation is 750 KV.
Further upgrading of voltage level difficult due to material andenvironmental issues.

` High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Transmission. Has no stability limit problem.
However the current converters at two ends of HVDC are veryexpensive.
Limited to the point to point transmission ,upto now.
Still difficult to operate a multiterminal HVDC.
` Flexible AC Transmission System(FACTS) Has been used to improve power system performance.
Has become a very hot research field.
Exploits power electronic techniques to regulate the parametersof AC transmission and raise the transmission capacity thereby.
FFTS (Fractional Frequency Transmission System) is apromising new FACTS device.

` Stability limit of an ac transmission line can beapproximately evaluated by
` Voltage drop V % can be evaluated by
` where V is the normal voltage,Q is the reactive power,& X is the the reactance of transmission line.Decreasing reactance X will give rise to better
voltage regulation and improved system stability.

In order to increase
the transmission
capability we caneitherincrease the
Voltage level or
decrease the
reactance of the
transmission line.

Little influence on the cost and efficiency of the hydropower unit
` TransformerElectric power stepped up at lower frequency.
Core section area and coil turn nos. must be increased.
