Power generators, synchronous condensers, converters and other flexible AC transmission systems play a massive role in the power system infrastructure. These power system elements can be set to operate in a condition that optimizes the electrical efficiency and complies with the grid requirements.
The reduction of the overall combined losses, from the controlled power system element up to the optimization point has always been a challenge and concern for O&M teams and operation directors to realize the most economical operation. The most relevant losses are related to energy transmission.
