3. Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) Companies - ABB (Hitachi) (ABB, Switzerland) and General Electric Company (US) are the Key Players

The FACTS market is projected to reach USD 1.5 billion in 2025 from USD 1.2 billion in 2020; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period. Factors such as increasing benefits offered by FACTS and growth in transmission lines are driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) companies include:

• ABB (Hitachi) (ABB, Switzerland),
• General Electric Company (GE, US),
• Siemens AG (Siemens, Germany),
• Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (Mitsubishi Electric, Japan),
• Infineon Technologies AG (Infineon, Germany),
• American Superconductor (AMSC, US),
• NR Electric Co., Ltd. (NR Electric, China),
• Hyosung Heavy Industries (Hyosung, South Korea),
• Rongxin Power Ltd. (RXPE, UK).

ABB (Hitachi) is one of the technology leaders with comprehensive offerings in electrification, industrial automation, motion, and robotics, and discrete automation. The company serves customers in utilities, industry, and transport & infrastructure globally. ABB was founded in 1988 as a result of a merger between ASEA Brown Boveri (Germany) and BBC Brown Boveri (Switzerland). The company has its headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland. ABB operates in more than 100 countries.  ABB offers FACTS under its Power Grids business. However, in December 2018, ABB announced an agreement to divest 80.1%of its Power Grids business to Hitachi Ltd. (Hitachi), valuing the business at USD 11 billion. ABB’s FACTS offerings are based on 3 technologies series compensation, dynamic shunt compensation, and dynamic energy storage and provide more power and control in existing AC as well as green-field networks with minimal environmental impact. Major application areas of FACTS include utilities, renewables, smart grids, railways, metal industries, mining, and oil & gas verticals.
