Renewable energy facilities will constitute a major contribution to electrical power in the future. The wind turbine will, together with biomass, form the major renewables parts up to year 2030 including erection of offshore wind farms. The wind is a non-storable energy source, whose electric energy needs priming into interchangeable energy to be competitive for large-scale power generation. An...

The increasing development of the use of new energies has led to the widespread use of power electronics, so that electronic power converters play an important role in extracting power from renewable sources. Power electronics can convert raw energy produced from new energy into the desired power with controlled current, voltage and frequency to be used in the power grid. Restructuring of power...

This paper discusses the Dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) operation and control for Voltage sags compensation. DVR is a series connected power electronic based device that can quickly mitigate the voltage sags in the system and restore the load voltage to the pre-fault value. Voltage sag associated with faults in transmission and distribution systems, energizing of transformers, and starting of l...
