Flexible AC Transmission Equipment - A Global Market Perspective

NEW YORK, Feb. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Flexible AC Transmission Equipment - A Global Market Perspective

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0164509/Flexible-AC-Transmission-Equipment---A-Global-Market-Perspective.html

Global Flexible AC Transmission Equipment market is registering healthy growth. Paramount importance has been given to FACT systems to effectively address the voltage fluctuation, transmission loss and several other myriad problems associated with transmission of electricity. As a result, demand for variable compensation devices is rising. Several R&D programs have been initiated to develop better and more reliable devices at low cost. Semiconductor-enabled variable compensation devices are gaining momentum in utility sector. But SEN transformers, SuperVARs and other improvised classical devices are a bigger challenge to compensation devices based on power electronics.

These and other market data and trends are presented in "Flexible AC Transmission Equipment (FACT): A Global Market Perspective" by BizAcumen, Inc. Our reports are designed to be most comprehensive in geographic coverage and vertical market analyses.
