Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) consists of power electronics and other static components and; it is used to enhance the controllability, flexibility and power transfer ability of a power transmission network. The ever increasing requirement of high power supply quality and high network reliability for applications such as electric utilities, steel industry and mining is expected to drive the global demand of FACTS devices from 2013 to 2018. In addition, the upgradation and replacement of power infrastructure in developed economies such as Americas and Europe, and the power capacity addition in developing regions such as APAC and ROW are also expected to play a crucial role in the growth of FACTS market.
The global FACTS market can be majorly divided into three compensation types, namely shunt, series, combined series, and shunt connected. Shunt compensation consists of two devices: Static Var Compensator (SVC) and Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM); Series compensation is made up of Fixed Series Capacitor (FSC) and Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC); and combined series and shunt connected compensation consists of Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) and Interline Power Flow controller (IPFC).
This report also focuses on the components used in FACTS devices, such as power electronic devices, thyristors, reactors, capacitor banks, switchgear, protection and control systems,and so on. Steady state applications and dynamic applications of FACTS devices such as voltage control, power flow balancing, transient stability, voltage stability, power oscillations damping, and sub synchronous resonance mitigation are also discussed in the report.
The FACTS market is also analyzed on the basis of end user applications that include electric utilities, steel industry, mining, and others (wind power, railways).
