DESCRIPTION:Power flow control techniques have been practiced\, from using 
 inductors\, capacitors\, transformers and load tap changers in the earlier
  days of electrical engineering to power electronics-based solutions in re
 cent years. Even though the costs and complexities of the available soluti
 ons vary widely\, the basic underlying theory of power flow control is sti
 ll the same as it has always been. The question is which solution one shou
 ld employ. The answer depends on knowing what the true need is. The power 
 industry’s pressing need for the most economical ways to transfer bulk p
 ower along a desired path may be met by building new transmission lines\, 
 which is a long and costly process. Alternately\, it may be quicker and ch
 eaper to utilize the existing transmission lines more efficiently. The key
  is to identify the underutilized transmission lines and harness their dor
 mant capacities to increase the power flows to the lines’ thermal limits
  using the most cost-effective and time-tested solutions.\n\nTwo reference
  books are as follows.\n\n- Introduction to FACTS Controllers: Theory\, Mo
 deling\, and Applications (ISBN: 978-0-470-47875-2)\, IEEE Press and John
