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.

There are many researches on Power Quality Device to protect the critical load and power system as the nonlinear load and precision load are adopted into the power system recently. To analyze the voltage compensation of voltage sag and voltage swell by DVR, which is connected to the important load in series, this paper shows PSCAD/EMTDC simulation and its verification by comparing with the actual DVR output of 2MVA. DVR control scheme in this paper is applicable to compensate single-phase, 2-phases or 3-phases voltage sag as well as DVR for distribution system.

In this paper, a new single phase voltage sag/swell compensator using direct power conversion is introduced. 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 to compensate 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 commonly required in the direct power conversion. Simulation results are shown to demonstrate the advantages of the new compensator and PWM strategy.

This paper proposes a new SSHG(Sag/swell and Harmonic Generator) injecting voltage by using series inverter. The proposed SSHG composes series inverter, DC capacitor as energy storage, rectifier and voltage clamp circuit. This SSHG is designed to generate typical power disturbances, such as voltage sag/swell, over/under voltage and voltage flicker. Also it is designed to generate unexpected voltage phase jumping waveform by controlling the series inverter. In this paper, three kinds of control methods for the proposed 2MVA SSHG are given. Typical voltage sag and swell waveforms are implemented by adopting simple control method. Also the voltage flicker is generated by changing the amplitude of the injected voltage in random. Owing to the limited bandwith of the proposed SSHG, high frequency transient waveforms can be obtained by using the open loop control. The simulation and experimental results are given to verify the operation of the proposed SSHG, Finally, conclusions are given.

Power capacitor has been used to compensate for the low power factor of inductive load and to reduce harmonics generated by the power conversion device with reactor. Power quality is mainly referred to the voltage quality and it is very important for the stable operation of load. But if voltage rms is temporary changed, it acts on capacitor as an electrical stress. In this paper, we analyzed that capacitor can be given by voltage, current and capacity's variance under the sag and swell condition. If reactor is connected at capacitor, sag can be aside from the question. But it can act an amount of stress on capacitor in the swell region.

This study investigates output voltage variation of a voltage disturbance generator in case of sag and swell modes. The generator uses series transformers and silicon-controlled rectifier thyristors to provide voltage disturbance; consequently, voltage drop at the output terminal is inevitable. On the basis of the analysis, voltage drop increases as the power factor decreases in lagging. Voltage drop is 3.7 [%] at a power factor (lagging) of 0.8. Simulation and experimental results show the validity of the analysis.
