TLDR
The concept of custom power is now becoming familiar as mentioned in this paper and it describes the value-added power that electric utilities and other service providers will offer their customers in the future The improved level of reliability of this power, in terms of reduced interruptions and less variation, will stem from an integrated solution to present problems, of which a prominent feature will be the application of power electronic controllers to utility distribution systems and/or at the supply end of many industrial and commercial customers and industrial parks.Abstract:

Control algorithms for series static voltage regulators in faulted distribution systems
K. Haddad,Geza Joos,Su Chen +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a series compensator structure with a rating equal to a fraction of the load is proposed to compensate for voltage sags in a faulted distribution system, which results in a fast dynamic response and is insensitive to disturbances and harmonics present on the power network.
