This work, constructing laboratory-scale Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices and interconnecting them via a simulation engine, studies and reduces potential deleterious effects, such as congestion or insecure operation, that may quickly propagate across the grid in complex and dramatic ways resulting in wide-spread blackouts. The FACTS device family of switched power electronics-based controllers, presently constitutes one of the most promising new sets of power controllers. These devices control the power flow through the lines of the network by rapidly injecting independent current and voltages into the system. This FACTS network provides a testbed for simultaneously testing both the FACTS hardware and the distributed fault-tolerant and secure software. The FACTS device laboratory studies reliability of the power grid, allowing experimental verification for the dynamics and control of multiple FACTS devices within the system. The controllers, built to regulate and manage the flow of electricity in high power energy grids, form an essential part of the constructed scaleable network of FACTS. Thus, various failure propagation effects in the power grid are under study to manage and control the flow of energy. A laboratory-scale FACTS testbed studies how devices behave under different scenarios. While validating various algorithms using actual devices, researchers conduct emulation experiments on real hardware to test the correctness of control algorithms under development. FACT devices provide the necessary capabilities to build an adaptive power grid. Presently, there is little deployment of such devices; hence, insufficient experience with them. This project is expected to provide such experience to the industry. Additionally, the network provides a unique testbed with which to develop distributed embedded control software.Broader Impact: The lab facilitates exploration of new power control technologies that might result in better use of transmission facilities, thus having long-term effects for the entire community. It also provides a physical testbed for advanced courseware, enriching the environment for both students and their advisors. The equipment will also be used, as part of the institutions minority program, to encourage under-represented groups to participate in the project research and will be made available to other research collaborators at minimal cost. Visualization of the power grid control on the web makes the work accessible to scientists and engineers, policy decision makers, and the general public. The funds requested include the equipment listed below and associated expenses. UPFC, Test equipment, Xeon 4 processor, maintenance Some students involved in the development

这项工作构建了实验室规模的灵活交流输电系统 (FACTS) 设备，并通过模拟引擎将它们互连起来，研究并减少了潜在的有害影响，例如拥堵或不安全运行，这些影响可能以复杂而戏剧性的方式在电网中快速传播，导致大范围停电。 FACTS 器件系列基于开关电力电子的控制器目前是最有前途的新型电力控制器之一。这些设备通过快速向系统注入独立的电流和电压来控制通过网络线路的功率流。该 FACTS 网络提供了一个测试平台，用于同时测试 FACTS 硬件和分布式容错和安全软件。 FACTS 设备实验室研究电网的可靠性，从而可以对系统内多个 FACTS 设备的动态和控制进行实验验证。这些控制器旨在调节和管理高功率电网中的电流，构成了 FACTS 所构建的可扩展网络的重要组成部分。因此，正在研究电网中的各种故障传播效应，以管理和控制能量流。实验室规模的 FACTS 测试床研究设备在不同场景下的行为。研究人员在使用实际设备验证各种算法的同时，在真实硬件上进行仿真实验，以测试正在开发的控制算法的正确性。 FACT 设备提供构建自适应电网所需的功能。目前，此类设备的部署很少；因此，对他们的经验不足。该项目有望为业界提供此类经验。此外，该网络还提供了一个独特的测试平台，用于开发分布式嵌入式控制软件。 更广泛的影响：该实验室促进了对新电力控制技术的探索，这些技术可能会更好地利用传输设施，从而对整个社区产生长期影响。它还为高级课件提供了物理测试平台，丰富了学生及其导师的环境。作为该机构少数群体计划的一部分，这些设备还将用于鼓励代表性不足的群体参与项目研究，并将以最低成本提供给其他研究合作者。网络上电网控制的可视化使科学家和工程师、政策决策者和公众可以轻松完成工作。请求的资金包括下列设备和相关费用。 UPFC、测试设备、Xeon 4处理器、维护部分学生参与开发
