Abstract

Bus voltage sags may be one of the most visible power quality problems facing power engineers today. The use of a series transformer to boost bus voltage during sags is described. The emphasis in the paper is on the series voltage boost technology using pulse width modulation. The term ´series voltage booster´ (SVB) is used in the paper to refer to this hardware. The electronic technology of the SVB is described and analyzed in its basic capabilities. Simulation of a boost device, and the transient response are discussed. Simulation is used to identify the required component ratings under a range of steady state and transient operating conditions. Key advantages and limitations of this technology are also discussed
