A series-connected VSC for voltage regulation, balancing and harmonics mitigation

Voltage sensitive electronic equipment, such as computers, process controllers, programmable logic controllers, adjustable speed drives and robotic devices is increasingly used in modern industrial processes. Industrial loads thus require a supply free of voltage disturbances such as voltage dips, swells, unbalances and harmonics. The effect of these disturbances may be as bad as a complete shut down of a production line, hence giving rise to the growing interest and need, for mitigation of such power quality problems. The objective of this thesis is to design and build a mitigation device to shield loads from these problems.
