It is a static synchronous generator operated without an external energy source as a series compensator.

This chapter studies the power system power quality and harmonics and SSR/ Tortional stability enhancement to reduce harmonics, improve the power quality and enhance the system harmonic stability.

Three different cases were studied in order to improve power quality and enhance system stability using a novel Active Power Filter (APF) combining with and Tuned arm filter switched capacitive compensation.
