System for mitigating voltage disturbances and interruptions for power distribution applications

摘要

A low cost voltage disturbance mitigation system is capable of providing continuous power to a load despite short interruptions or sag disturbances of the utility power. The interruption and sag mitigation system makes use of a combination of unique thermal and electrical properties of magnetic components, power semiconductor devices, and high-discharge-rate energy storage devices. It also facilitates a modular solution that can be easily and economically scaled up or down for use over a wide range of voltage and power levels, e.g., 480 V to 36 kV and 500 kVA to 10,000 kVA.
