An ultrasonic device may include an electromechanical ultrasonic system defined by a predetermined resonant frequency, the electromechanical ultrasonic system having an ultrasonic transducer coupled to an ultrasonic blade. A method of compensating power delivered to the ultrasonic device may include determining an articulation angle of an articulatable ultrasonic blade coupled to the ultrasonic transducer, adjusting a complex impedance of the ultrasonic transducer to compensate for power lost as a function of the articulation angle, and adjusting, a power applied to the ultrasonic transducer based on the articulation angle. The ultrasonic device may include a generator and a control circuit configured to effect the method.
