Course title Flexible AC Transmission Systems
Acronym 13D021FRU
Study programme Electrical Engineering and Computing
Module Power Networks and Systems
Type of study doctoral studies
Lecturer (for classes)
Lecturer/Associate (for practice)
    Lecturer/Associate (for OTC)
      ESPB 9.0 Status elective
      Condition Exams: Control systems, Power system analysis (undergraduate studies), Power system control (master degree studies)
      The goal Introduce students to the basic concepts of active and reactive power flow control in power transmission networks. Familiarisation to functioning of FACTS devices based on elements of power electronics and the definition of their capabilities in the control of power flow in electrical power transmission networks.
      The outcome Provide students with the ability to design models and develop algorithms for the analysis of the effects of control devices in the transmission networks. Provide students with the ability to analyse impacts of flexible AC transmission system devices on static and dynamic performances of power systems.
