FACTS Controllers

FACTS (Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems) controllers are advanced devices used in electrical power grids to improve the flow and stability of electricity. They dynamically adjust voltage, current, and power flow on transmission lines to optimize performance, reduce losses, and prevent outages. By controlling parameters like reactive power, FACTS devices help maintain consistent voltage levels and enhance grid reliability. Essentially, they act as intelligent regulators, making the energy transmission more efficient, flexible, and resilient to changing demands or disturbances in the power system.
