متن کاملHarmonic Reduction Technique Using Flying Capacitor Based Z Source Inverter for a DVR
The Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is a commercially available, popular device to eliminate voltage sags and swells in the distribution lines. Its basic function is to inject the voltage difference (difference between the pre-sag and sag voltage) to the power line and maintains the pre-sag voltage condition in the load side. The efficiency of the DVR depends on the performance of the efficiency...
