Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS)

Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) are advanced technology solutions used in electrical power systems to enhance the transmission of electricity. They improve the capacity, reliability, and stability of power lines, allowing for better management of power flow and minimizing issues like congestion and voltage fluctuation. FACTS devices can control electrical parameters dynamically, enabling utilities to optimize their networks and ensure efficient delivery of electricity. Essentially, they act like traffic managers on a highway, enhancing the flow of electricity where it's needed most while maintaining system balance and integrity.
