DESCRIPTION
These courses introduce students to the fundamentals of SVCs, STATCOMs, and HVDC transmission systems. Students learn that SVCs and STATCOMs, which are examples of flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS), can be used in conjunction with HVDC transmission systems to greatly enhance the controllability and power transfer capability of a power network and are thus essential tools to the implementation of a smart grid. These courses also allow students to experiment with actual SVCs, STATCOMs, and HVDC transmission systems implemented using power electronics modules.
