Many utilities are undertaking smart grid projects aroun d the world. Though the initial smart grid projects focus at distribution level but the trend is growing towards smart transmission level controller s as well. It is foreseen that many High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) and power electronics-based Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) controll ers will be installed in the T&D networks to realize the smart transmissio n and distribution network. According to a report from Pike Research\, one of the most important high-growth sectors within the utility market is HV DC transmission. According to Cleantech Market Intelligence Firm\, the cum ulative spending for HVDC Systems between 2012 and 2020 is about US $110 B illion to US $ 120 Billion. Though most of the growth is in Asian countrie s like China and India\, it is also anticipated that significant increase in HVDC applications will happen in Europe\, North America\, and other par ts of the world due to renewable resource integration.\n\nThis presentatio n provides the state-of-the art in HVDC and FACTS technologies and discuss es the new applications of HVDC and FACTS\, AC line conversion to DC\, and new converter developments such as modular multilevel VSC converters. Thi s lecture will also provide thought-provoking analysis on the key challeng es in the power delivery of the future renewable dominated power grids\, a nd benefit the next generation and early career researchers and engineers in their career planning and development.\n\nHost: Department of Electroni c and Electrical Engineering\, University of Strathclyde\n\nOrganiser: IEE E Power and Energy Society UK&I Chapter\n\nCo-organisers: IEEE PES Student Branch Chapters at:\n\n- University of Birmingham\n- University of Manche ster\n- University of Sheffield\n- University College Dublin\n- Imperial C ollege London\n- University of Strathclyde\n\nCo-sponsored by: Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering\, The University of Strathclyde\n \nSpeaker(s): Dr Ram Adapa\, \n\nRoom: Room 345\, Bldg: Royal College Buil ding\, 204 George Street\, The University of Strathclyde\, Glasgow\, Engla nd\, United Kingdom\, G1 1XW LOCATION:Room: Room 345\, Bldg: Royal College Building\, 204 George Street\ , The University of Strathclyde\, Glasgow\, England\, United Kingdom\, G1 1XW ORGANIZER:d.l.donaldson@bham.ac.uk SEQUENCE:45 SUMMARY:IEEE PES DLP: The Role of HVDC and Power Electronics in the Future Smart Electric Grid\, 2pm\, 18th June\, Glasgow URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/487575 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><img src="https://events.vtools.ieee.org/v tools_ui/media/display/1b94434a-4638-4301-b644-f39e2a14d393" alt="" width= "900" height="456"></p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>IEEE PES Distinguished Lecturer Programme:&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Title: The Role of HV DC and Power Electronics in the Future Smart Electric Grid</strong></p>\n< p><strong>By Dr Rambabu Adapa\, PhD\, FIEEE\, P.E.\, Technical Executive\, HVDC &amp\; Power Electronics\, EPRI</strong></p>\n<p><strong>2 - 3 pm (B ST)\, 18th June 2025.</strong></p>\n<p><strong><span style="background-col or: rgb(255\, 255\, 255)\;">Room 345\, Royal College Building\, 204 George Street\, Glasgow\, G1 1XW\, UK</span></strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p cl ass="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify\;"><strong>Abstract:</strong></ p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify\;">Smart Grid is the m ost popular buzz word in the electric utility industry now-a-days.
