Yong Hua Song is Professor of Electrical Energy Systems at Brunel University, UK where he also holds the Royal Academy of Engineering/Nuclear Electric/Siemens Chair of Power Systems. He has authored/co-authored three books and some 200 journal and conference papers in the area of power system stability analysis, control, protection, flexible ac transmission systems and application of computational intelligence.Allan T. Johns is Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Bath and Managing Director of Intalec International Consulting Engineers. He is heavily involved in industrial consultancy and is the author of 250 publications of which nearly 100 are full Learned Society papers. He has been awarded four Learned Society Premiums and holds 12 full patents. He is extremely active in Learned Society service and his interests cover all aspects of electrical power systems.

• Chapter 1: Power transmission control: basic theory; problems and needs; FACTS solutionsChapter 2: Power electronics: fundamentalsChapter 3: High voltage dc transmission technologyChapter 4: Shunt compensation: SVC and STATCOMChapter 5: Series compensationChapter 6: Phase shifterChapter 7: The unified power flow controllerChapter 8: Electromagnetic transient simulation studiesChapter 9: Steady-state analysis and controlChapter 10: Oscillation stability analysis and controlChapter 11: Transient stability controlChapter 12: Protection for EHV transmission lines with FACTS devicesChapter 13: FACTS development and applicationsChapter 14: Application of power electronics to the distribution system

'This book provides a comprehensive guide to FACTS, covering all the major aspects in research and development of FACTS technologies and will be a useful reference for professional engineers involved in the operation and control of modern power systems. It will also be of value to post-graduate students and researchers.'
