---

 Program for Thursday, June 17th, 2021:

• Team Introductions (5min)
• Introduction to FACTS devices (General Overview) (5min)
• Key Drivers and Challenges facing the Electrical Grid (Transmission Grid and Industrials) (5min)
• Selecting the appropriate FACTS Solutions (5min)
• Differentiators and Modeling
• Static Converters (SVCs and STATCOMs): (25min)

Abstract

Overview of Static Compensators (SVCs-Static Var Compensators and STATCOMs-Static Synchronous Compensators) and Synchronous Condensers for electric utility and industrial applications. Key drivers for selecting the appropriate solution along with the design/ratings basics, description of main components, substation layout, and modeling will be discussed.

 

 "Fine Print"

• The webinar is free for active IEEE members. 
• There is a $5 registration fee for people who are not active IEEE members.
• The fee must be paid in advance through the registration process below (credit card through PayPal) in order to receive the link to the webinar.
• Upon successful payment of the fee, you will receive 2 emails: one from noreply_vtools@ieee.org with title "IEEE vTools Reservation Confirmation," and a second from service@intl.paypal.com with title "Your payment to The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc." Both emails are required to ensure your payment was successfully processed.
• Incomplete non-member registrations (payment not received) will be deleted.
• A link to the WebEx registration will be sent to the email address you provided during this vTools registration, on June 16, by "IEEE Northern Alberta".  Please double check the spelling of your email address when registering.
• The mechanism used to email the WebEx link requires you to accept the IEEE Privacy Policy and consent to receiving emails from IEEE.  If you have not opted-in to receive email communications from IEEE, or have opted-out of email communications from IEEE in the past, you might not receive the email containing the WebEx link.  IEEE members can go to https://www.ieee.org/ieee-privacyportal/app/ibp and ensure that "Local IEEE Communications" is checked under the category Communication Preferences > Member Benefits.  Former members and non members who opted-out of email communications in the past can contact the IEEE Support Center to find out how to adjust their email communication preferences.
• You will need to complete the brief WebEx event registration prior to joining the webinar.
