Abstract :
This paper discusses transmission planning in a deregulated market and presents the concept of FACTS (flexible AC transmission systems) and its business impact. Use of modern controllable devices in an electrical network to achieve efficient, reliable, flexible and environmentally sound transmission systems are shown with examples
