Abstract :In this paper, a practical thyristor-based 3-phase sag/swell/outage generator insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(disturbance generator); is designed to test various power quality mitigation devices insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PQMDs);, such as solid state transfer switch insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SSTS);, static voltage compensator insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SVC);, and uninterruptible power supply. The latest technological disturbance generators insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DGs); and the proposed DG are comprehensively discussed and compared with focus on usefulness, economic aspects, and simplicity. The proposed DG is used for experimentally generating different fault conditions and testing a SSTS. The comparisons and analyses show that the proposed DG is an optimum and simple solution to generate sag, swell, unbalance, overvoltage, undervoltage, and outage to test PQMDs.
