"The Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) -- a new technologybased on power electronics -- offers an opportunity to enhancecontrollability, stability, and power transfer capability of ACtransmission systems. Pioneers in FACTS and leading world expertsin power electronics applications Narain G. Hingorani and LaszloGyugyi have teamed together to bring you the definitive book onFACTS technology.

Hingorani and Gyugyi present a practical approach to FACTS thatwill enable electrical engineers working in the power industry tounderstand the principles underlying this advanced system.UNDERSTANDING FACTS will also enhance expertise in equipmentspecifications and engineering design, offering an informed view ofthe future of power electronics in AC transmission systems.

This comprehensive reference book provides an in-depth lookat:
* Power semiconductor devices
* Voltage-sourced and current-sourced converters
* Specific FACTS controllers including SVC, STATCOM, TCSC, SSSC, UPFC, IPFC plus voltage regulators, phase shifters, and specialcontrollers with a detailed comparison of their performanceattributes
* Major FACTS applications used in the United States.

UNDERSTANDING FACTS is an authoritative resource that is essentialreading for electrical engineers who want to stay on the cusp ofthe power electronics revolution."

About the Authors...
Narain G. Hingorani is credited with originating the concepts ofFACTS and Custom Power. He is a retired vice president ofElectrical Systems at EPRI and provides consulting services thathelp utilities plan and purchase power electronics technology. Dr.Hingorani has published widely on HVDC and ac transmission and iscoauthor of High Voltage Direct Current Power Transmission (GarawayLtd., 1960). Dr. Hingorani is the recipient of the 1985 Uno LammMedal of the IEEE Power Engineering Society for outstandingcontributions to High Voltage Direct Current Technology and the1995 IEEE Lamme Medal for leadership and pioneering contributionsto the transmission and distribution of electric power. He is aFellow of the IEEE and in 1988 he was elected to the NationalAcademy of Engineering.
Laszlo Gyugyi is technical director at Siemens FACTS & PowerQuality Division in Orlando, Florida. His research covers a broadrange of power electronic circuits and systems. In collaborationwith B. R. Pelly, Dr. Gyugyi established the theoreticalfoundations of ac to ac switching converters in Static PowerFrequency Changers (John Wiley & Sons, 1976). Subsequently, hehas focused on the development of new power electronic technologiesfor electric transmission and distribution systems, and haspioneered the converter-based approach for FACTS. Dr. Gyugyi haspublished more than 50 papers in the field and holds 76 U.S.patents. He is the recipient of the 1992 Westinghouse Order ofMerit, the 1994 William E. Newell Power Electronics Award of theIEEE Power Electronics Society, and the first Flexible ACTransmission System (FACTS) Award given by the IEEE PowerEngineering Society in 1999. He is a Fellow of the IEE.
