In this paper, a new single phase voltage sag/swell compensator using direct power conversion is proposed. A new compensator consists of input/output filter, series transformer and direct ac-ac converter, which is a single-phase back-to-back PWM converter without dc-link capacitors. Advantages of the proposed compensator include: simple power circuit by eliminating dc link electrolytic capacitors and thereby, improved reliability and increased life time of the entire compensator; simple PWM strategy or compensating voltage sag/swell at the same time and reduced switching losses in the ac-ac converter. Further, the proposed scheme is able to adopt simple switch commutation method without requiring complex four-step commutation method that is commonly employed in the direct power conversion. Simulation and experimental results are shown to demonstrate the advantages of the new compensator and PWM strategy. A 220V, 3kVA single-phase compensator based on the digital signal processor controller is built and tested.

Conventional single-phase series quasi Z-source voltage compensator can not compensate for voltage sag less than 50% that frequently occurs in the industrial field. In this study, single-phase series quasi Z-source voltage sag-swell compensator which can compensate the voltage variation of entire range is proposed. The proposed system is composed of two quasi Z-source AC-AC converters connected in series with output terminal stage. Voltage sag less than 50% could be compensated by the intersection switching control of the upper converter duty ratio and of the upper converter duty ratio. Also the compensation voltage and its flowchart for each compensation mode are presented for entire sag-swell region. To confirm the validity of the proposed system, a DSP(DSP28335) controlled experimental system was manufactured. As a result, the proposed system could compensate for the voltage sag/swell of 20% and 60%. Finally, voltage compensation factor and THD(Total Harmonic Distortion) according to voltage variation and load change were measured, and voltage quality shows a good results.

Compensating characteristics of a voltage sag/swell compensator utilizing single-phase matrix converter is examined. First, system configuration and operation for both voltage sag and swell are described. Next, in order to suppress pulsations of the source voltage, a countermeasure using low pass filter and all pass filter is introduced. Then, compensating characteristics of the compensator are investigated for R-L load by simulation. Finally, the validity of the simulated results is confirmed by the experimental results.

This paper proposes a stand alone type single-phase fuel cells micro-source with a voltage sag compensator for compensating the ac output voltage variations (sag or swell) of micro-source. The proposed micro-source is consist of a PEM(polymer electrolyte membrane) fuel cells simulator, a full bridge de converter, a 60Hz PWM(pulse width modulation) VSI(voltage source inverter), and a voltage sag compensator. Voltage sag compensator is similar to the configuration of hybrid series active power filter, and it is directly connected to micro-source through the injection transformer. Compensation algorithm of a voltage sag compensator adopts a single phase p-q theory. Effectiveness of the proposed the system is verified by the PSIM(power electronics simulation tool) simulation in the steady state and transient state which the proposed system is able to simultaneously compensate the harmonic current and source voltage sag or swell.

This paper proposes a new type of voltage sag-swell compensator based on a Z-source AC-AC converter. The proposed topology employs a pulse width modulation (PWM) Z-source AC-AC converter along with a injection transformer. A safe commutation strategy is used to eliminate voltage spikes on switches without snubber circuit. During a voltage sag or swell, the proposed system controls the adding or missing voltage and maintains the rated voltage of sinusoidal waveform at the terminals of the critical loads. The proposed system is able to compensate 20[%] voltage swell and is also able to compensate 60[%] voltage sag. In order to control and detect the voltage sag and swell, the peak voltage detection method is applied. Also, the operating principles of the proposed system are described, and a circuit analysis is provided. Finally, PSIM simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the proposed concept and theoretical analysis.

This paper describes a new economical voltage sag and swell generator suitable to the evaluations of high power custom power devices such as DVR (Dynamic Voltage Restorer) and DSTATCOM (Distribution Static Compensator). This system was designed to generate the several power quality disturbances in MVA power ratings - voltage sag and swell, under voltage, over voltage and harmonic distortions. The basic idea for voltage sag and swell is to use the voltage drop across a reactor, while the voltage swell is to use the step-up transformer and the TCR(Thyristor Controlled Reactor). In this paper, two identical 3 phase TCRs and a step-up transformer with tap changer are used. Additional harmonic filters are added to reduce the voltage distortion when TCRs are operated. Simulation results are given for several cases of voltage sag and swell generations.

본 논문에서는 직접 전력변환방식의 단상 sag/swell 보상기를 구현하였다. 제안된 보상기는 정현파 입력/ 출력 필터, 직렬연결 변압기와 dc 링크 커패시터부가 없는 단상 back-to-back PWM컨버터로 구성되어 있다. 이 보상기의 장점은 dc-link 진해 커패시터가 제거되어 전력회로부가 간단하게 구현되어 향상된 신뢰성 및 내구성을 확인 할 수 있으며 동시에 단상 전압 sag/swell을 보상하며 스위칭 손실을 줄이는 간단한 PWM 방법을 들 수 있다. 더구나, 제안된 방법은 일반적인 직접 전력변환방식에서 요구되어지는 복잡한 4-step 전류 방법이 필요 없는 간단한 전류제어방법을 채용할 수 있는 구조이며 제안된 보상기의 구조와 PWM 방법의 타당성을 프로토타입 하드웨어를 제작하여 실험결과로 보상기의 우수성을 확인하였다.
