FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems)

FACTS, or Flexible AC Transmission Systems, refers to advanced technologies used to improve the reliability, efficiency, and capacity of electrical power systems. They provide tools to control and manage the flow of electricity across power grids, helping to balance supply and demand, mitigate voltage drops, and prevent outages. By enhancing the performance of traditional power systems, FACTS can facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources and optimize the use of existing infrastructure, leading to a more stable and resilient energy supply for consumers and industries.
