Abstract In recent years, the nonlinear loads and complexity of control systems in industrial processes have triggered the Power Quality (PQ) problems in the distribution network. The major aim of PQ enhancing techniques is to maintain a specified voltage magnitude at a desired frequency for sensitive loads irrespective of the faults in the power distribution network. This is possible only by ensuring that an uninterrupted flow of power is maintained at proper voltage levels. Electrical utilities are looking for solutions to ensure high quality power supplies to their consumers. Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is a series compensator used to mitigate voltage sags and to restore load voltage to its rated value, thus enabling the consumer to continuously receive clean power. This paper presents a mathematical model for leading series voltage injection (LSVI) to mitigate sags, thereby achieving the improvement of utility power factor as well as power sharing between the DVR and the utility.
