DESCRIPTION:Electric power grid around the world is being modernized to int
 egrate renewable energy sources\, such as wind and solar in an unprecedent
 ed scale. This brings unforeseen challenges in integration of inertia-less
  and intermittent renewable energy sources with a legacy grid that was bui
 lt with rotating machinery. An opportunity lies ahead to upgrade the power
  flow controllers from the traditional reactance regulator and phase angle
  regulator to a modern-day impedance regulator that is capable of regulati
 ng the line voltage and controlling the active and reactive power flows in
  the line independently.\n\nThe presentation is designed to provide the ba
 sic principles of power flow control theory\, an overview of the most comm
 only used power flow controllers\, and future trends. The audience will he
 ar from an expert who actually designed and commissioned a number of power
  electronics-based FACTS controllers since their inceptions in the 1990s.\
