Voltage sag mitigation using dynamic voltage restorer

Power quality deals with utilization of electric energy from the distribution system successfully without interference or interruption. Various factors like interruption in power supply, under voltage, over voltage, unbalanced voltage or current, harmonic distortion, flickering voltage, voltage fluctuation voltage sag etc. result in poor power quality. These power quality related problems can be solved with the help of various custom power devices. Voltage sags are considered to be the most common type of disturbances in the field based on current power disturbances studies. Their impact on sensitive loads is rigorous. The impact ranges from load disruptions to financial losses. In spite of the technical advances in electronics, there are some pieces of equipment that are so sensitive that they are unable to withstand voltage sags. There are many varies methods to mitigate voltage sags, but a Custom Power Supply device is considered to be the most efficient method. This dissertation is the study of Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) which is the most efficient and effective device to protect sensitive equipment against voltage sags.
