A static synchronous series compensator is a flexible AC transmission system device made of a solid-state voltage source inverter coupled to a transformer connected in series with a transmission line. It injects an almost sinusoidal voltage in series with the line, which can be treated as an inductive or capacitive reactance in series with the line, providing controllable voltage compensation; injecting a sufficiently large series reactive compensating voltage also lets it reverse the direction of power flow.
