I. INTRODUCTION
The deterioration in quality of power supply in the
distribution system has become a problem over the last decade
due to increasing use of power electronics loads. Any
variation from the normal supply of voltage is called as a
voltage power quality problem. The power quality means the
supply of electrical power to the consumer load at a
predefined specification. Maintaining the voltage at its rated
magnitude and sinusoidal waveshape with minimum
interruptions is a well defined specification of voltage quality.
There are different categories of power quality problems such
as short duration voltage disturbances (sag, swell or
interruption), long duration voltage disturbances (under, over,
sustained interruption), voltage unbalancing, voltage flicker,
voltage harmonics etc. [1].
Among many power quality problems, the short duration
voltage disturbances such as sags and swells are the most
frequent types of disturbances which severely affects the
sensitive loads. There will be change in magnitude of the
supply voltage during the voltage sag and swell. The IEEE
519-1992 and IEEE 1159-1995 describe the voltage sags/
swells as shown in Table I [2].

The block diagram of the series controller using above
mentioned equations can be drawn as shown in Fig. 2. Where,
K represents the error amplification gain. The objective of the
controller design is to regulate the load bus voltage against
load disturbances to sinusoidal waveform with low total
harmonic distortions.

V. SIMULATION RESULTS
The simulation is carried out by using power system
simulator PSCAD/EMTDC 4.2. The system parameters
considered in the simulation are given in the Table II. To
evaluate the performance of the PV supported series controller
a simple distributed network is simulated. A low pass LC filter
is used to filter out the switching harmonics. A PWM
controller is used to generate the switching pulses for the VSI.

VI. CONCLUSIONS
This paper proposed a control strategy for PV supported
single phase series controller which mitigates the voltage sag
and swell at the load side under different load conditions and
also injects the active power. The developed control strategy
plays an intelligent role to compensate the voltage
