A flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) provides a structured method to augment the transmission capabilities of conventional electrical energy systems. It is intended to enhance controllability, reliability and transfer capability using power electronic equipment and control techniques. HVDC are high voltage direct current systems. Both systems complement each other, they each have their specific area of application, and they can work together, in a coordinated fashion, for example, to accommodate growing shares of renewable energy such as wind power, which needs to be transferred over long distances from generation sites to demand centres.
This book offers an up-to-date account of FACTS and HVDC technology and installations around the globe. Chapters cover flexible transmission equipment and installations, power semiconductor valves, power circuits, converters and electronics for power transmission, and distribution, power electronics in generation and storage, dynamic and transient operation, FACTS and HVDC in wind power generation, protection in AC and DC power networks, as well as future trends.
Co-ordinated by three experts in the field, the book offers a thorough and systematic exploration of its topic for researchers in power system and power electronics research, utility engineers, and postgraduate students.
Enrique Acha has pursued an international career in power electronics applications in electrical power systems. This has taken him from his native Mexico in the early 1980s to pursue R&D work in academic institutions and industry in the UK, New Zealand, Canada, France, Finland and Mexico. As a member of the IEEE Distinguished Lecturers Program, he has lectured globally. He has written five textbooks and more than 200 papers. He is an IEEE Life Fellow. Claudio R. Fuerte-Esquivel is a professor at the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo, Mexico. His research focuses on modelling, analysis and control of electrical systems. He is an independent advisor of the EPS-II Generation Company of the Federal Electricity Commission. He has served as a consultant supporting the operation of the Mexican National Center for Energy Control. He is a regular member of the Mexican Academy of Sciences and Fellow of the IEEE. Francisco De La Rosa is an independent senior power systems consultant in San Antonio, Texas, USA, focusing on the operational planning of transmission systems incorporating renewable power. He has extensive experience in R&D, assessing and integrating innovative technologies in T&D systems in North America and other countries. He has authored several power systems books and is an IEEE Life Senior Member, an Associate Member of ESIG and a member of several NERC Task Forces.
