DESCRIPTION:Power flow control techniques have been practiced\, from using 
 inductors\, capacitors\, transformers and load\ntap changers in the earlie
 r days of electrical engineering to power electronics-based solutions in r
 ecent years. Even\nthough the costs and complexities of the available solu
 tions vary widely\, the basic underlying theory of power flow\ncontrol is 
 still the same as it has always been. The question is which solution one s
 hould employ. The answer depends on\nknowing what the true need is. The po
 wer industry’s pressing need for the most economical ways to transfer bu
 lk power\nalong a desired path may be met by building new transmission lin
 es\, which is a long and costly process. Alternately\, it\nmay be quicker 
 and cheaper to utilize the existing transmission lines more efficiently. T
 he key is to identify the\nunderutilized transmission lines and harness th
 eir dormant capacities to increase the power flows to the lines’ thermal
 \nlimits using the most cost-effective and time-tested solutions.\nThe pre
 sentation is designed to provide the basic principles of power flow contro
 l theory\, an overview of the most\ncommonly used power flow controllers\,
  and future trends.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Kalyan Sen\, \n\nRoom: VEC325\, 133
