Objective of the course is to present students with the advanced knowledge in FACTS systems and their interaction with the problems of electric power quality. The course will deal with contemporary algorithms for the management and usage of digital micro processing devices in the work of power distribution system, as well as universal devices providing flexibility of the transfer system and significant contribution to the increasing quality of electric power and general work of power distribution system.

Educational outcome is to acquire latest global knowledge enabling the design, work analysis, construction and scientific contributions to the development and improvement of the FACTS devices from the aspect of the electric power quality and adjoining managing algorithms for diverse real situations in a power system.

Systematization of FACTS devices. Electronic power converters for FACTS. Converter management methods and algorithms. Influence on electric power quality – positive and negative influences. Quality standards. Universal devices. Comparative analysis and economic feasibility estimation. New solutions. Part of the course is conducted through individual research and study work in the field of FACTS devices and electric power quality. The study and research work is based on active study of primary scientific sources, organization and performance of experiments and statistic data processing, numerical simulations, and writing a paper in the narrow scientific area within the topic of the Doctoral dissertation.

Teaching methods comprise lectures for theoretic setting, tutorials and practice for utilizing the mathematical modelling and computer simulations. Study and research.
