Mitigation of Voltage Dips Through Distributed Generation Systems

Abstract

Voltage dips are often responsible for disrupting the operation of sensitive electronic equipment. In this paper, two solutions are presented to prevent sensitive equipment from disruptive operation. Both solutions make use of distributed generation systems to maintain the voltage across the equipment in the presence of voltage dips. The emphasis of this paper is on the transient response of both solutions to balanced as well as unbalanced voltage dips. Simulations have been carried out to provide a thorough analysis.
