In this paper, we present a practical design and simulation of flat beam generation and compression with various bunch charges up to 3.2 nC. Emittance growth within the round-to-flat beam transformer and the impact of low energy compression is discussed in detail. Finally, it is found that the compressed flat beam could provide exciting opportunities in the field of advanced acceleration techniques and accelerator-based light source.
