A flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) is a system composed of static equipment used for the transmission of AC electric power. Its aim is to improve the control capacity and increase the power transfer capacity of the network. Generally it is a system based on electronic power.
FACTS is defined by the IEEE as "a system based on power electronics and other static equipment that provide control of one or more parameters of the AC transmission system to improve controllability and increase the power transfer capacity."
According to Siemens "FACTS Increase the reliability of AC networks and reduce power supply costs Improve transmission quality and efficiency of power transmission by supplying inductive or reactive power to the grid.
FACTOS (Flexible Alternate Current Transmission Systems) technologies provide more power and control in existing AC and green field networks and have minimal environmental impact. With a complete portfolio and own manufacturing of key components, ABB is a reliable partner in the configuration of the network of the future.
