Abstract
The problem of voltage sag and swell is one of the major reasons for low-quality power in the distribution system. Normally, it results from the system's faults, including line-to-ground and line-to-line, non-linear characteristics of loads and sources. Its effect is very serious for the critical loads as their performance is very sensitive to the variation in voltage. The stabilization of voltage is a mandatory requirement in such a situation. The correction of such problems requires the addition and subtraction of the voltage once the line voltage is decreased and increased. This behavior of the correcting voltage is ensured by the use of voltage controllers that can convert a constant input voltage into a non-inverted and inverted variable form. Their voltage gains depend on the depth level of the problem. The voltage buck and boost capabilities of the AC voltage stabilizers can tackle the problems having any depth level. The smartness of such a system depends on the number of electronic devices as they are the key elements in the power conversion system. Therefore, this research proposes a new AC voltage controller with fewer solid-state devices. Its overall impact is low volume and cost. The validation of the introduced approach is ensured with the help of simulation modeling and results gained from the practical setup.
