Even though the costs and complexities of the availa ble solutions vary widely\, the basic underlying theory of power flow cont rol is still the same as it always has been. The question is which solutio n one should employ. The answer depends on knowing what the true need is. The power industry’s pressing need for the most economical ways to trans fer bulk power along a desired path may be met by building new transmissio n lines\, which is a long and costly process. Alternately\, it may be quic ker and cheaper to utilize the existing transmission lines more efficientl y. The key is to identify the underutilized transmission lines and harness their dormant capacity to increase the power flows to the lines’ therma l limits.\n\nThe presentation is designed to provide the basic principles of power flow control theory\, an overview of the most commonly used power flow controllers\, and future trends. The presentation will be of particu lar interest to all utility power engineering professionals. The required background is an equivalent of an Electrical Engineering degree with famil iarity in power engineering terminology. The audience will hear from an ex pert who actually designed and commissioned a number of power electronics- based FACTS controllers since its inception in the 1990s.\n\nCentre Room\, Auditorium - BC Hydro Edmonds Office\, 6911 Southpoint Drive\, Burnaby\, British Columbia\, Canada\, V3N4X8 LOCATION:Centre Room\, Auditorium - BC Hydro Edmonds Office\, 6911 Southpoi nt Drive\, Burnaby\, British Columbia\, Canada\, V3N4X8 ORGANIZER:pesvancouver.kenny@gmail.com SEQUENCE:6 SUMMARY:Practical Power Flow Controller Brings Benefits of Power Electronic s to the Grid URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/203465 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>IEEE Power &amp\; Energy Society Vancouver Chapter is pleased to announce a distinguished lecture on "Practical Powe r Flow Controller Brings Benefits of Power Electronics to the Grid" by Dr. Kalyan K.
