Utilities are incorporating a multitude of new technologies in order to optimize their ability to supply and deliver power efficiently and economically. Among these technologies, HVDC (high voltage direct current) and FACTS (flexible AC transmission system), are most prominent. The Power Electronics in Transmission Systems (PETS) course presents operating and control fundamentals of these technologies. This hands-on course includes PSS®E based simulation examples of these technologies. 

Upon completion of this course, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of the principles involved in power electronics devices and will be able to apply this knowledge when incorporating these devices into their transmission system.
