The DVR is a device that acts as a controlled voltage source.

It injects a synchronized voltage into the distribution feeder to maintain a constant load voltage during source disturbances. Static Transfer Switch (STS), Static Current Limiter (SCL),

Active filtering, load balancing, and voltage regulation (sag/swell). Major Compensating Devices 1. Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR)

Power factor correction, load balancing, and mitigating current-related harmonics. 3. Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) The DVR is a device that acts as a controlled voltage source

Custom power devices are broadly categorized into two types based on their function in the distribution network: Device Examples Primary Function
