Dynamic Voltage Compensator for Voltage Sag

Computers and automatic equipment are very sensitive to the disturbances such as voltage transients, voltage sag, and harmonics. These disturbances cause them to have a malfunction or fault which brings about damages and losses. UPS (uninterruptible power supply) and SPS(stand-by power supply) have been used to provide the required voltage in a critical load without disturbances. However, UPS has appreciable losses due to the operation of the inverter in full rated power at all times. SPS, although whose inverter losses are smaller than those of UPS, transfers disturbances with a short duration to the load, due to the limited reaction time. In this research, a dynamic voltage compensator, which can make up for the weakness of UPS and SPS, is proposed. The operation of the proposed system was verified by a computer simulation. A hardware scaled-model was fabricated and tested to conform the feasibility of the actual system development.
