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:

Dynamic series voltage restoration for sensitive loads in unbalanced power systems
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and apparatus is provided for restoring a sagging voltage signal on a power transmission line, caused by a remote fault in the utility power system, to a balanced three-phase condition at the pre-fault voltage level.

A series compensator with fault current limiting function
TL;DR: In this article, a power converter-based series compensator (SC) can also function as a fault current limiter (FCL) to absorb energy from the external network, which results in an increase in the voltage across the terminals of the SC energy storage system.
