 r Electronics\, EPRI\n\n11 am - 12 pm (BST)\, 16th June 2025.\n\nRoom 611\
 , EEE Building\, Imperial College London\, London\, SW7 2AZ\, UK\n\nAbstra
 ct:\n\nSmart Grid is the most popular buzz word in the electric utility in
 dustry now-a-days. Many utilities are undertaking smart grid projects arou
 nd the world. Though the initial smart grid projects focus at distribution
  level but the trend is growing towards smart transmission level controlle
 rs as well. It is foreseen that many High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) an
 d power electronics-based Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) control
 lers will be installed in the T&amp;D networks to realize the smart transmissi
 on and distribution network. According to a report from Pike Research\, on
 e of the most important high-growth sectors within the utility market is H
 VDC transmission. According to Cleantech Market Intelligence Firm\, the cu
 mulative spending for HVDC Systems between 2012 and 2020 is about US $110 
 Billion to US $ 120 Billion. Though most of the growth is in Asian countri
 es like China and India\, it is also anticipated that significant increase
  in HVDC applications will happen in Europe\, North America\, and other pa
 rts of the world due to renewable resource integration.\n\nThis presentati
 on provides the state-of-the art in HVDC and FACTS technologies and discus
 ses the new applications of HVDC and FACTS\, AC line conversion to DC\, an
 d new converter developments such as modular multilevel VSC converters. Th
 is lecture will also provide thought-provoking analysis on the key challen
 ges in the power delivery of the future renewable dominated power grids\, 
 and benefit the next generation and early career researchers and engineers
  in their career planning and development.\n\nHost: Department of Electric
