  • Compensation system for power transmission
    Patent number: 8106540
    Abstract: A system is provided for compensating a power transmission line having one or more non-conventional power generating sources connected to the power transmission line. At least one series compensation circuit is connected to a portion the power transmission line, and at least one damping circuit is connected in parallel with the series compensation circuit. The damping circuit reduces subsynchronous series resonance caused by the series compensation circuit on the power transmission line, and the series compensation circuit compensates the power transmission line.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 10, 2008
    Date of Patent: January 31, 2012
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Einar V. Larsen, Bruce E. English, Goran Drobnjak
  • Compensation system for power transmission
    Patent number: 8063515
    Abstract: A system for compensating a power transmission grid is provided. The system includes one or more non-conventional power generating sources that are connected to the power transmission grid. At least one series compensation circuit is connected to at least a portion of the power transmission grid, to compensate the power transmission grid. At least one damping circuit is connected to at least a portion of the power transmission grid, and it mitigates subsynchronous series resonance caused by the series compensation circuit on the power transmission grid.
