A peer-to-peer power compensation architecture for utility power systems has a “ring-pathed” power transmission supply line with legs connecting a utility power source to a utility customer load, to a secondary power source, and to the utility customer load. A sinusoidal signal is injected on the first and third legs, with a predetermined amplitude, frequency and phase characteristics, wherein at least one of the characteristics being varied as function of a voltage level and a power factor of supplied power from the respective leg. A controllable power hub with an inverter is coupled to at least the first leg and the third leg, the inverter having at least one DC or AC-based power source. The injected signal's characteristics from the respective leg are evaluated to determine if the power hub's power should be introduced to the leg to compensate for under-voltage conditions.
