by Narain G. Hingorani; Laszlo Gyugyi
From the publisher
"The Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) -- a new technologybased on power electronics -- offers an opportunity to enhancecontrollability, stability, and power transfer capability of ACtransmission systems. Pioneers in FACTS and leading world expertsin power electronics applications Narain G. Hingorani and LaszloGyugyi have teamed together to bring you the definitive book onFACTS technology. Hingorani and Gyugyi present a practical approach to FACTS thatwill enable electrical engineers working in the power industry tounderstand the principles underlying this advanced system.UNDERSTANDING FACTS will also enhance expertise in equipmentspecifications and engineering design, offering an informed view ofthe future of power electronics in AC transmission systems. This comprehensive reference book provides an in-depth lookat:
* Power semiconductor devices
* Voltage-sourced and current-sourced converters
* Specific FACTS controllers including SVC, STATCOM, TCSC, SSSC, UPFC, IPFC plus voltage regulators, phase shifters, and specialcontrollers with a detailed comparison of their performanceattributes
* Major FACTS applications used in the United States. UNDERSTANDING FACTS is an authoritative resource that is essentialreading for electrical engineers who want to stay on the cusp ofthe power electronics revolution." Sponsored by:

About the author
Narain G. Hingorani is credited with originating the concepts ofFACTS and Custom Power. He is a retired vice president ofElectrical Systems at EPRI and provides consulting services thathelp utilities plan and purchase power electronics technology. Dr.Hingorani has published widely on HVDC and ac transmission and iscoauthor of High Voltage Direct Current Power Transmission (GarawayLtd., 1960). Dr. Hingorani is the recipient of the 1985 Uno LammMedal of the IEEE Power Engineering Society for outstandingcontributions to High Voltage Direct Current Technology and the1995 IEEE Lamme Medal for leadership and pioneering contributionsto the transmission and distribution of electric power. He is aFellow of the IEEE and in 1988 he was elected to the NationalAcademy of Engineering.
Laszlo Gyugyi is technical director at Siemens FACTS & PowerQuality Division in Orlando, Florida. His research covers a broadrange of power electronic circuits and systems. In collaborationwith B. R. Pelly, Dr. Gyugyi established the theoreticalfoundations of ac to ac switching converters in Static PowerFrequency Changers (John Wiley & Sons, 1976). Subsequently, hehas focused on the development of new power electronic technologiesfor electric transmission and distribution systems, and haspioneered the converter-based approach for FACTS. Dr. Gyugyi haspublished more than 50 papers in the field and holds 76 U.S.patents. He is the recipient of the 1992 Westinghouse Order ofMerit, the 1994 William E. Newell Power Electronics Award of theIEEE Power Electronics Society, and the first Flexible ACTransmission System (FACTS) Award given by the IEEE PowerEngineering Society in 1999. He is a Fellow of the IEE.

Book Conditions Explained
Biblio’s Book Conditions
-
As NewThe book is pristine and free of any defects, in the same condition as when it was first newly published.
-
Fine (F)A book in fine condition exhibits no flaws. A fine condition book closely approaches As New condition, but may lack the crispness of an uncirculated, unopened volume.
-
Near Fine (NrFine or NF)Almost perfect, but not quite fine. Any defect outside of shelf-wear should be noted.
-
Very Good (VG)A used book that does show some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Very good items should not have writing or highlighting.
-
Good (G or Gd.)The average used and worn book that has all pages or leaves present. ‘Good’ items often include writing and highlighting and may be ex-library. Any defects should be noted. The oft-repeated aphorism in the book collecting world is “good isn’t very good.”
-
FairIt is best to assume that a “fair” book is in rough shape but still readable.
-
Poor (P)A book with significant wear and faults. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. Any missing pages must be specifically noted.
