Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A power compensator for compensating voltage at a location along a power transmission line, the compensator having a controller for controlling a voltage generated across the compensator, wherein the voltage is controlled to maintain a power transmission line voltage at a value dependent on the power transmission line location.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A power compensator for compensating voltage at a location along a power transmission line, the compensator having a controller for controlling a voltage generated across the compensator, wherein the voltage is controlled to maintain a power transmission line voltage at a value dependent on the power transmission line location. 2 . A compensator as claimed as claim 1 comprising a reactive power compensator. 3 . A compensator as claimed in claim 1 in which the controller is arranged to provide control according to a gain value. 4 . A compensator as claimed in claim 3 in which the gain value is locally set. 5 . A compensator as claimed in claim 3 in which the gain value is remotely set. 6 . A power compensation system comprising a power compensator as claimed in any preceding claims and at least one load. 7 . A system as claimed in claim 6 in which the load comprises an appliance. 8 . A system as claimed in claim 6 in which the load comprises an overload load. 9 . A system as claimed in claim 3 further comprising a critical load in parallel with the compensator in which the compensator compensates to provide voltage across the critical load at the value dependent on the power transmission line location. 10 . A power transmission system comprising a power transmission line and plurality of compensators or systems as claimed in claim 1 at respective locations on the power transmission line having respective voltage values at each location. 11 . A system as claimed in claim 10 in which the power transmission line comprises a distribution line. 12 . A method of providing power compensation at a location along a power transmission line comprising controlling a voltage generated across a power compensator at the location to maintain a power transmission line voltage at a value dependent on the location.
