DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Power flow control techniques have been practiced\, f
 rom using inductors\, capacitors\, transformers and load tap changers in t
 he earlier days of electrical engineering to power electronics-based solut
 ions in recent years. 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 audience will hear from an expe
 rt who actually designed and commissioned a number of power electronics-ba
 sed FACTS controllers since their inceptions in the 1990s.\n\nSpeaker(s):
