Modelling and simulation of PWM switched autotransformer for voltage SAG mitigation using MATLAB/SIMULINK

For some decades, power quality did not cause any problem, because it had no effect on most of the loads connected to the electric distribution system. When an induction motor is subjected to voltage sag, the motor still operates but with a lower output until the sag ends. With the increased use of...
