DESCRIPTION:The use of electricity is increasing rapidly due to the fast ad
 option of mega-sized data centers\, electric vehicles\, etc. To combat the
  greenhouse effect\, the generation of renewable energy is also skyrocketi
 ng. However\, the other important piece of the puzzle is to transport elec
 tricity from where it is generated to where it is used in load centers in 
 the most reliable\, efficient and affordable way. The power industry’s p
 ressing need for the most economical ways to transfer bulk power along a d
 esired path may be met by building new transmission lines\, which is a lon
 g and costly process. Alternatively\, it may be quicker and cheaper to ide
 ntify the underutilized transmission lines and harness their dormant capac
 ity to increase the power flows to the lines’ thermal limits. The presen
 tation will cover: basic principles of power flow control theory\, an over
 view of the most commonly used power flow controllers\, and their merits a
 nd demerits\, and future trends. The audience will hear from an expert who
  actually designed and commissioned a number of power electronics-based FA
 CTS controllers since their inceptions in the 1990s.\n\nSpeaker(s): \, Kal
