Abstract: Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) have emerged as a revolutionary solution for enhancing the performance and stability of power grids. FACTS devices are designed to regulate the power flow in transmission networks, improve voltage stability, and provide dynamic control over the system’s power exchange. This paper delves into the concept of FACTS, their various types, applications, and benefits in ensuring grid stability. It also explores how these systems mitigate issues such as power oscillations, voltage instability, and transmission line overloads. With increasing demand for electricity and the integration of renewable energy sources, FACTS devices play a crucial role in maintaining the operational stability and reliability of modern power grids.
Keywords: Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS), Grid Stability, Power Flow Control, Voltage Stability, Power Transmission, Power Oscillations, Renewable Energy Integration
