“…In Chiatula, et al (2020), the results of the study that assess the application of FACTS technologies into the expansion plans of the Transmission Company of Nigeria; as it transfers power through transmission lines to load centers is shown. The following studies were carried out; load-flow analysis, voltage stability studies and economic analysis on the different cases.…”

With an ever-increasing demand for power and establishment of new industries with high load demand, the need to for constant upgrade of powers system network is high. Such transmission networks are prone to external disturbances from loads, environment and other sources which leads to low power quality. Sudden application or removal of large loads. Large loads are known to draw more reactive power than the generated reactive power which lead to reactive power imbalance which can lead to total system collapse. In this paper, a critical review of how Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices are used to mitigate such issues to ensure power quality is done. Previous work on the integration of different FACTS devices were review to establish the advantage of FACTS devices over conventional solutions to power transmission problems.

“…FACTS devices, first proposed in 1988 [ 134 ] can be an alternative to mitigate voltage deviations, and reduce the line flows in heavily loaded lines, resulting in an increased loadability, lower system power loss, improved stability of the network, reduced cost of production and fulfilled contractual requirement by controlling the power flows in the network [ [121] , [122] , [123] ]. FACTS devices can regulate power flow, maintain desired bus voltage levels, and increase active and reactive power flow limits up to thermal rating capacity of transmission lines in a controlled manner during normal and contingency conditions [ 16 , 21 , 120 , 124 ], and hence can enhance the static security margin of the power system by optimizing the existing transmission infrastructure and minimize reinforcement costs [ 44 , 125 ].…”
