Dynamic voltage restorers based on AC-AC topologies

The matrix converter (MC) and the Vector Switching Converter (VeSC) are employed as the building block in order to assemble a couple of dynamic voltage restorers (DVR). Their operating principles are reviewed and their performances under sag events are studied. Results are presented on small-scale prototypes.
