Abstract :
A fast response, electronically controlled, continuously variable equivalent capacitive reactance for series compensation of utility transmission lines is described. Unlike compensation by series dielectric capacitors, there is no fear of subsynchronous resonance (SSR) instability. A high level of compensation is possible because there is no danger of forced resonance by the supply frequency. Experimental and digital simulation results are presented
