INTRODUCTION:
Modern electrical power systems boost the efficiency of electrical power generation, transmission, and distribution. They help reduce carbon footprint for a more environmentally friendly society. It covers the use of renewable energy to produce power in a “green” manner.
Also, the conference covers the history and benefits of smart grids and micro grids. A modern electrical power system must be able to determine and control fault levels, active power, reactive power, voltage, and frequency. Modern mitigation strategies also handle difficulties with power quality.
The Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS), which has developed into a mature technology with high power rating, will be used into modern electrical power systems to assure stability of the power system. Based on power electronics, this technology offers a wide range of applications and has emerged as one of the best and most dependable ones. These systems’ primary goal is to provide the network with inductive or capacitive reactive power that is tailored to its specific needs as rapidly as possible, while also enhancing transmission quality and the effectiveness of the power transmission system.
