However\, the other import ant piece of the puzzle is to transport electricity from where it is gener ated to where it is used in load centers in the most reliable\, efficient and affordable way. The power industry’s pressing need to transfer bulk power along a desired path may be met by building new transmission lines\, which is a long and costly process. Alternatively\, it may be quicker and cheaper to identify the underutilized transmission lines and harness thei r dormant capacity to increase the power flows to the lines’ thermal lim its by using a properly-designed power flow controller. Also\, the grid co ngestion can be mitigated by holding the power flow in a line at its desig n limit\, instead of tripping the line and possibly initiating a cascaded failure of the grid as it happened in 2003. The presentation will cover ba sic principles of power flow control theory\, an overview of the most comm only used power flow controllers\, their merits and demerits\, and future trends.\n\nSpeaker(s): Kalyan K. Sen\, \n\nAgenda: \nIEEE PES Distinguishe d Lecturer\n\nTarget Audience: The presentation will be of particular inte rest to all utility power engineering professionals\, academicians and res earchers. The audience will hear from an expert who actually designed and commissioned a number of power electronics-based FACTS controllers since i ts inception in the 1990s.\n\nRoom: Conclave Center\, Bldg: Main Building\ , Madhav Institute of Technology & Science\, Gole Ka Mandir\, Gwalior (M.P .)\,\, Madhya Pradesh\, India\, 474005 LOCATION:Room: Conclave Center\, Bldg: Main Building\, Madhav Institute of Technology & Science\, Gole Ka Mandir\, Gwalior (M.P.)\,\, Madhya Pradesh\ , India\, 474005 ORGANIZER:yashsawle@gmail.com SEQUENCE:11 SUMMARY:Opportunities and Challenges in Power Flow Control in a Modern Grid URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/545283 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: cente r\;" align="center"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS' \; color: black\; mso-themecolor: text1\;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font- size: 12.0pt\; font-family: 'Times New Roman'\,'serif'\; mso-fareast-font- family: 'Times New Roman'\; color: black\; mso-themecolor: text1\; mso-fon t-kerning: 0pt\; mso-ligatures: none\; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\; mso-fare ast-language: EN-US\; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\;">IEEE PES Distinguished L ecturer on&nbsp\; "</span>Opportunities and Challenges in Power Flow Contr ol in a Modern Grid"</span></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 76.5pt\; text-indent: -76.5pt\;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0 pt\; color: black\; mso-themecolor: text1\;">&nbsp\;</span></p>\n<p class= "MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify\;"><strong><em style="mso-bidi-font -style: normal\;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt\; color: bla ck\; mso-themecolor: text1\;">Abstract<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt\; color: black\; mso-themecolor: text1\; mso-bidi-font-weight: bol d\;">:</span> <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold\;">The use of electr icity is increasing rapidly due to the fast adoption of mega-sized data ce nters\, electric vehicles\, etc. To combat the greenhouse effect\, the gen eration of renewable energy is also skyrocketing.
