Abstract
A series compensation generator SCG is installed in a transmission line that links various substations SS and the transmission capability of the system as a whole can be increased by regulating the equivalent reactance of the transmission line. Series compensation generator SCG generates a voltage of which the phase angle is shifted substantially 90° in relation to the current flowing in the transmission line, and it also generates a voltage that compensates the voltage drop due to the equivalent reactance. Also, when an electrical fluctuation phenomenon (power oscillation) occurs in the transmission line, it is possible speedily to suppress the power oscillation by detecting the power fluctuation of the transmission line and controlling the compensating voltage of series compensation generator SCG so that it suppresses that power fluctuation.
