Design of alternating current voltage–regulating circuit based on thyristor: Comparison of single phase and three phase

Abstract

The voltage sag problem in a power grid can be solved by a voltage regulator. In this study, the voltage regulator based on thyristor was used to compensate the single-phase and three-phase voltage of voltage sag fault, so as to recover the normal level of voltage. The simulation analysis was carried out on MATLAB. The results showed that voltage sag faults mainly affected the amplitude of voltage, but not the frequency of voltage. After voltage regulation, the single-phase and three-phase voltage waveforms in the fault period had a certain recovery, but the voltage regulator had a certain hysteresis effect.
