A Neural Network based AC-AC voltage restorer is proposed for voltage sags and PWM type active power filter is used for voltage harmonics compensation and EMI reduction. The objective is to apply the neural network switching control technique to the AC-AC voltage restorer to reduce time delays during the switching conditions and switching losses. The aim of the IGBTs used in the AC-AC voltage r...

Power quality is the major focus of progressive nations.In the era of smart grid,power quality receives a lot of thrust at all voltage levels namely,medium ,high and low.The objective of this paper is to present a simple and cost effective method of sag detection and mitigation in three phase systems at the consumer's end. The use of the concept of space vector representation of three phase qua...

A constant power supply is a basic need for each consumer due to the increase in sensitive equipment day by day. As per IEEE standards, 10% reduction voltage from not acceptable and may cause failure of equipment. Previously, different techniques have been used alleviate sag, such as STATCOM, DSTATCOM, SVC, shunt capacitors, but these devices are connected parallel, which compensates low value ...

Voltage sags can be symmetrical or unsymmetrical depending on the causes of the sag. At the present time, one of the most common procedures for mitigating voltage sags is by the use of dynamic voltage restorers (DVRs). By definition, a DVR is a controlled voltage source inserted between the network and a sensitive load through a booster transformer injecting voltage into the network in order to...

Custom Power devices like Dynamic voltage restorer and STATCOM are normally employed as a solution for mitigation of power quality problems like voltage sag and swell. In this paper new voltage sag compensators based on an autotransformer and an IGBT switched by PWM technique and Hysteresis Voltage Control (HVC) method are compared. These two schemes are able to recognize the voltage sag condit...
