Abstract
A power system compensator apparatus comprising a power converter unit that works in series with the transmission of a power system and switching control means for controlling the link voltage (V.sub.LINK) of the non-power system side. The switching control means controls the phase of, at least, the fundamental frequency of the power system. The power converter unit contains a static power converter transformer with phase differences taking place the secondary windings of the power converter unit. The static power converter unit is operated in non-PWM or fixed pulse width ratio. Switching rate is minimized. Loss is lowered while economy of operation is improved. Since the voltage that works in series with the power transmission line is controlled, direct compensation of system reactance voltage and direct control of line current are performed. Improved performance thus results.
