Section II: Ideal Series Compensator
Ideal Series Compensator
Let us assume that the series compensator is represented by an ideal voltage source. This is shown in Fig. 10.10. Let us further assume that the series compensator is ideal, i.e., it only supplies reactive power and no real power to the system. It is needless to say that this assumption is not valid for practical systems. However, for an introduction, the assumption is more than adequate. It is to be noted that, unlike the shunt compensator, the location of the series compensator is not crucial, and it can be placed anywhere along the transmission line.
