Abstract
Transmission and distribution systems are at the beginning an era of significant change — an era that is technology-driven by microelectronics (computers and microprocessors), communications, and power electronics. The combined impact of these technologies makes the era unique and important for both transmission and distribution systems, by making them more reliable, controllable, and efficient.
Dr. Hingorani submitted this article when he was Senior Executive, Advanced Technology, at the Electric Power Research Institute.

The EPRI Journal for April–May 1986 addresses flexible ac transmission, conceived by the author.
“High Power Electronics and Flexible AC Transmission System” was the topic of a speech delivered by the author on April 19, 1988, at the American Power Conference’s 50th Annual Meeting in Chicago. It was printed in the IEEE’s Power Engineering Review, July 1988, pp. 3–4.
Discussions of the Flexible AC Transmission System appeared in the proceedings of the two workshops held by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) in 1990 in Cincinnati, Ohio, and in 1992 in Boston, Massachusetts.
