Abstract
This is the first of four tutorials on the general subject of flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS). This tutorial gives an overview of the area and explains why FACTS devices are needed. Future tutorials will describe methods of controlling and compensating AC transmission lines, FACTS based on thyristors and FACTS devices based on GTOs.
