Abstract: A power distribution system comprising a point of common connection that receives electric power supplied by a first power generation system and a second generation system, with the second power generation system that comprises a renewable electric power generator; a transmission line operatively connected to the point of common connection for conducting the electric power between the point of common connection and an external AC electric network. The power distribution furthermore comprises a capacitive compensator connected in series with the transmission line to compensate for a reactive power component of the electric power conducted by the transmission line; and a shunt arranged flexible AC transmission system that mitigates a sub-synchronous resonance effect caused at least in part by the capacitive compensator. A flexible AC transmission system controller of the flexible AC transmission system comprises a damping effect on sub-synchronous oscillations included in the sub-synchronous resonance.
