This presentation will provi de a practitioner’s perspective on how power flow studies are performed and used in real-world power system planning.\n\nDr. Hilary Brown\, P.E.\, Director of Integrated Planning Delivery at Xcel Energy\, will discuss ho w engineers use large-scale power system models to evaluate system perform ance\, perform contingency and N-1 reliability analysis\, identify transmi ssion and voltage violations\, and develop mitigation strategies. The pres entation will also explore methods for controlling real and reactive power flows\, including generator controls\, shunt compensation\, regulating an d phase-shifting transformers\, and FACTS technologies.\n\nThe presentatio n will conclude with a broader discussion of how technical solutions must be considered alongside regulatory\, economic\, land-use\, and other pract ical constraints when planning the power grid.\n\nThe event will include a pproximately 45 minutes of presentation followed by questions and discussi on.\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Hilary Brown\, P.E.\, Director\, Integrated Planning D elivery\, Xcel Energy\n\nHosted by: IEEE Sacramento Valley Section – Pow er & Energy Society Chapter\n\nThis virtual technical meeting is open to I EEE members\, students\, professionals\, and others interested in electric power systems.\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/576612 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/576612 ORGANIZER:mahyar.zarghami@csus.edu SEQUENCE:36 SUMMARY:Power Flow Analysis: A Practitioner Perspective URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/576612 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>Power Flow Analysis: A Practitione r&rsquo\;s Perspective</strong></p>\n<p>Power flow analysis is one of the fundamental tools used by power system engineers to plan and operate relia ble electric grids.
