Book Synopsis

Demystifies FACTS controllers, offering solutions to power control and power flow problems

Flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) controllers represent one of the most important technological advances in recent years, both enhancing controllability and increasing power transfer capacity of electric power transmission networks. This timely publication serves as an applications manual, offering readers clear instructions on how to model, design, build, evaluate, and install FACTS controllers. Authors Kalyan Sen and Mey Ling Sen share their two decades of experience in FACTS controller research and implementation, including their own pioneering FACTS design breakthroughs.

Readers gain a solid foundation in all aspects of FACTS controllers, including:

  • Basic underlying theories

  • Step-by-step evolution of FACTS controller development

  • Guidelines for selecting the right FACTS controller

  • Sa
