Get the FACTS: Flexible Alternating Flow Transmission Systems

Flexible Alternating Flow Transmission Systems, or (FACTS) for short, can be thought of as an alternative to the AC current we currently think of. The construction of new transmission lines to face the growing demand for energy across the nation seems to be a pressing concern for the people and politicians. The increasing demand of energy without damaging the environment is another growing concern. Through the use static power which can convert to electrical energy we've been able to light up the world. Alternating Current Transmission Systems have improved capacity and power quality delivered to the people. And in case you didn't know, flexible alternating flow transmission system is I-squared x R loss, transmission is done at voltages abundant above what is usable by consumers. Transformers will easily raise AC voltage for transmission and then lower it for consumption.
