A review of voltage sag control measures and equipment in power systems

Abstract

In recent years, voltage sags are one of the most critical research issues in the field of power quality. With the all-embracing study of voltage sag mitigation measures and equipment, the classification of voltage sag mitigation measures and equipment is becoming more and more necessary. Reasonable classification methods not only can guide users to choose appropriate control measures and equipment, but also provide basis and research direction for new voltage sag control measures and equipment. Firstly, this study performs a detailed analysis of the current stage of voltage sag control measures and equipment, and proposes a classification method that divides the voltage sag control measures into three categories: the power supply side, the customer side and the equipment manufacturing company. Secondly, due to the difference between single power supply and dual power supply in voltage sag control equipment, this study proposes a classification method for voltage sag control equipment based on the number and type of power supply. Finally, in order to help users to select the voltage sag control equipment suitable for the actual situation, this paper summarizes the prevention and control ability of the main voltage sag control equipment.
