    The document contains 20 multiple choice questions about Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS). FACTS use fast-switching thyristors to control parameters like reactance, resistance and voltage in order to enhance power grid controllability, increase power transfer capability, and increase reliability. The main disadvantage of FACTS is their high cost. Some examples of FACTS controllers mentioned are SVC, STATCOM, SSSC, TCSC, and UPFC.
