DESCRIPTION:Brief description of program:\n\nThis presentation provides a t
 echnical overview of Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) with an emph
 asis on high-voltage power electronic solutions such as STATCOM. The sessi
 on will cover the operating principles\, control strategies\, and dynamic 
 performance characteristics that enable these devices to deliver fast and 
 precise reactive power compensation. FACTS technologies are increasingly v
 ital for maintaining voltage stability and improving power quality as tran
 smission systems experience higher loading from large-scale data centers a
 nd integrate significant levels of variable renewable generation. Attendee
 s will gain insight into system-level impacts\, equipment designs\, and em
 erging trends in FACTS deployment for modern transmission networks.\n\nNEW
