This paper presents a PWM buck AC-AC converter with instantaneous compensation for input voltage sag and surge. The presented converter use commercial IGBT modules and its output voltage is regulated so as to remain constant AC output voltage. The feedforward control technique is also proposed to establish instantaneous duty level change whereby stable output voltage will be retained. This paper show the characteristics and control algorithm of the converter through various PSPICE simulations.

This paper presents a discrete wavelet transform approach for determining the beginning and end times of voltage sags. Firstly, investigations in the use of some typical mother wavelets, namely Daubechies, Symlets, Coiflets and Biorthogonal are carried out and the most appropriate mother wavelet is selected. The proposed technique is based on utilizing the maximum value of Dl (at scale 1) coefficients in multiresolution analysis (MRA) based on the discrete wavelet transform. The results are compared with other methods for determining voltage sag duration, such as the Root Mean Square (RMS) voltage and Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) methods. It is shown that the voltage sag detection technique based on the wavelet transform is a satisfactory and reliable method for detecting voltage sags in power quality disturbance analysis.

A new simplified topology for a dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) based on direct converter with a reduced number of switches is presented. The direct converter is fabricated using only three bi-directional controlled switches. The direct converter is connected between the grid and center-tapped series transformer. The center-tapped series transformer is used to inject the compensating voltage synthesized by the direct converter. The DVR can properly compensate for long-duration, balanced, and unbalanced voltage sag and swell by taking power from the grid. The switches are driven by ordinary pulse width modulation signals. Simulation and hardware results validate the idea that the proposed topology can mitigate sag of 50% and swell of unlimited quantity.

In recent years, both electric utilities and end users have expressed their deep concerns about the quality of electric power. Especially, voltage sag which is one of power quality disturbance is very serious power quality problem on the power system. Voltage sag is a decrease to between 0.1 and 0.9 pu in rms voltage magnitude on the power system for durations from 0.5 cycles to 1 minute. These voltage sags are usually caused by fault conditions, overloads, and starting of large motors. The wavelet transform has attracted considerable attention in the field of power quality analysis recently. It has proved to be a powerful tool to study those transients that have time-localized information. In this paper, different types of voltage sags are simulated by using EMTP. This paper proposes the effective technique for voltage sag detection using wavelet transform.

Load connection or disconnection makes instantaneous sag & swell in 3-phase grid. When unbalance state occurs, between sensed phase voltage and actual phase voltage may have discrepancy. It makes difficult to detect accurate sag & swell, so it is hard to satisfy the standard for switching ESS system to UPS mode. In this paper, we analyzed unbalanced 3-phase voltage, and compensated the actual sag & swell magnitude.

In this paper, the voltage harmonics are investigated in terms of the voltage sag versus the time constants of electric machinery under the source voltage variation condition. The electric machinery and compensation equipment are established on the proposed design scheme based on voltage quality effect assessment technology. It have been analyzed how the variation of harmonic order, the output current, the DC-Link voltage and the induction motor speed is carried out under the voltage sag and switching frequency variation.

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.

Automatic reclosing is a typical protection method in power distribution systems for clearing the temporary faults. However, it has a fatal weakness in regards to voltage sags because it produces successive voltage sags. In this paper, we explored successive impact of voltage sag due to the automatic reclosing of power distribution systems. The actual tests of low voltage loads were accomplished for obtaining the susceptibility of voltage sags. The final results of the test yielded power acceptability curves of voltage sag, and the curves were transformed the 3-dimensional CBEMA(Computer Business Equipment Manufacturer Association) format. For the quantitative evaluation of the impact of successive voltage sags, an assessment formulation using the voltage sag contour was proposed. The proposed formulation was tested by using the voltage sag contour data of IEEE standard and the results of the test. Through the case studies, we verified that the proposed method can be effectively used to evaluate the actual impact of successive voltage sans.

This paper presents a new method to characterize sag event. Power quality monitoring algorithm to analyze PQ problems is described. This paper shows that conventional characterizing method which makes use of only sag magnitude and sag duration has some limitations. It characterizes non-rectangular sag as more severe one. In addition, it can't count on voltage tolerance characteristics of each apparatus. In order to solve these problems, this paper present a new characterizing method and it properly characterizes non-rectangular sag considering the voltage tolerance characteristics.

Recently, voltage sag from sudden increasing loads is also one of the major problems inside the utility network. In order to compensate the voltage sag problem, power compensation device systems could be a good solution method. In case of voltage sag, an energy source is needed to overcome the energy loss caused by the voltage sag. Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) is a very promising source of this energy due to its fast response of charging and discharging time. Before constructing the power electronic delivering system for the SMES, it is necessary to simulate the system to understand its behavior. Nowadays, a lot of devices have been developed to compensate voltage sag such as Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), Distribution Static Compensator (D-STATCOM) and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). In this paper, focus is given only on DVR system which will be simulated by using PSCAD/EMTDC software.
