Abstract :
Electric power system is one of the most complex machine a human being has ever built. Among the attributes of this complexity are inadequate power flow control, inadequate reactive power management, power angle and voltage instabilities, in adequate planners/operators training, inefficient use of collected data, etc. This paper presents a number of advanced technological concepts, which have been developed and applied, to address these complexity attributes. The presented technological concepts address thermal capacity of transmission circuits and substation equipment, power flow control, reactive power management, and increasing robustness and integrity of transmission grids.
