Investigation of voltage dip restorer using square wave inverter

The concept of square wave compensation is studied for the application to the voltage dip restorer in this paper. Both single square wave and dual square wave are used in this analysis. Both methods have shown to have a fast dynamic response as compared to sinusoidal compensation. The dual square wave can also compensate for the zero-crossing and the distortion is small. Experimental results confirm the proposed method.
