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 renewale energy is also skyrocketin
 g. However\, the other important piece of the puzzle is to transport elect
 ricity from where it is gnerated to where it is used in load centers in th
 e most reliable\, efficient and affordable way. The power industry's press
 ing need to transfer bulk power along a desired path may be met by buildin
 g new transmission lines\, which is a costly process. Alternatively\, it m
 ay be quicker and cheaper to identify the underutilized transmission lines
  and harness thier dormant capacity to increase the power flows to the lin
 es' thermal limit by using a properly-designed power flow controller. Also
 \, the grid congestion can be mitigated by holding the power flow in a lin
 e at its design limit\, instead of tripping the line and possibly initiati
 ng a cascaded failure of the grid as it happened in 2003. The presentation
  will cover basic principles of power flow control theory\, and overview o
 f the most commonly used power flow controller\, their merits and demerits
 \, and future trends.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE Tappan Zee Subsection\n\nSp

X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The use of electricity is increasing rapid
 ly due to the fast adoption of mega-sized data centers\, electric vehicles
 \, etc. To combat the greenhouse effect\, the generation of renewale energ
 y is also skyrocketing. However\, the other important piece of the puzzle 
 is to transport electricity from where it is gnerated to where it is used 
 in load centers in the most reliable\, efficient and affordable way. The p
 ower industry's pressing need to transfer bulk power along a desired path 
 may be met by building new transmission lines\, which is a costly process.
  Alternatively\, it may be quicker and cheaper to identify the underutiliz
 ed transmission lines and harness thier dormant capacity to increase the p
 ower flows to the lines' thermal limit by using a properly-designed power 
 flow controller. Also\, the grid congestion can be mitigated by holding th
 e power flow in a line at its design limit\, instead of tripping the line 
 and possibly initiating a cascaded failure of the grid as it happened in 2
 003. The presentation will cover basic principles of power flow control th
 eory\, and overview of the most commonly used power flow controller\, thei
