Sen\, President & CTO\, Sen Engineering Solut ions\, Inc.\, USA\n\nVenue: Level 1\, Room 1.30 (Board Room)\, CQUniversit y\, Melbourne Campus\, Melbourne\, VIC 3000\n\nZoom online meeting link: h ttps://cqu.zoom.us/j/244277479?pwd=cWlZWldHTUMzaWtjSlVzbkVmS2RNdz09\n\nAbs tract:\n\nPower flow control techniques have been practiced\, from using i nductors\, capacitors\, transformers and load tap changers in the earlier days of electrical engineering to power electronics-based solutions in rec ent years. Even though the costs and complexities of the available solutio ns vary widely\, the basic underlying theory of power flow control is stil l the same as it has always been. The question is which solution one shoul d employ. The answer depends on knowing what the true need is. The power i ndustry’s pressing need for the most economical ways to transfer bulk po wer along a desired path may be met by building new transmission lines\, w hich is a long and costly process. Alternately\, it may be quicker and che aper to utilize the existing transmission lines more efficiently. The key is to identify the underutilized transmission lines and harness their dorm ant capacities to increase the power flows to the lines’ thermal limits using the most cost-effective and time-tested solutions. The 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 expert who actually designed and c ommissioned a number of power electronics-based FACTS controllers since th eir inceptions in the 1990s.\n\nSpeaker(s): Kalyan Sen\, \n\nRoom: Room 1. 30 (Board Room)\, Bldg: Level 1\, CQUniversity\, Melbourne Campus\, Melbou rne\, Victoria\, Australia\, 3000\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.or g/m/416497 LOCATION:Room: Room 1.30 (Board Room)\, Bldg: Level 1\, CQUniversity\, Melb ourne Campus\, Melbourne\, Victoria\, Australia\, 3000\, Virtual: https:// events.vtools.ieee.org/m/416497 ORGANIZER:msrahman@ieee.org SEQUENCE:4 SUMMARY:SMART Power Flow Controllers – A Necessity for Future Power Grid URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/416497 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><div class="eds-l-mar-vert-6 eds-l-sm-mar-ver t-4 eds-text-bm structured-content-rich-text">\n<div class="eds-text--left ">\n<p><span style="color: rgb(35\, 111\, 161)\;"><strong>SMART Power Flow Controllers &ndash\; A Necessity for Future Power Grid</strong></span></p >\n<p><strong>Speaker:&nbsp\;</strong>Dr Kalyan K.
