1. Introduction
The purpose of DGFACTS (Distributed Generation Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems),
which are also referred to as Custom Power Systems
(CUPS), is to improve the quality of the supply in
Distributed Generation grids through the integrated
application of power electronic controllers, as a means for
improving the quality of the electricity supply. This
purpose becomes especially significant when dealing with
the massive integration of renewable energy sources for
power generation and distributed generation (DG) in
power grids [1,2,3].

In [3] the response of the DGFACTS devices to threephase and two-phase voltage dips was studied,
accordingly to the manual procedures for verification,
validation and certification included in the PO 12.3
requirements for the response of the wind turbines during
voltage dips. It states that test must be developed
applying with the dip generator a three-phase and a twophase isolated faults that cause a voltage dip in the
affected phases whose characteristics are specified in the
PO 12.3. In this article we will check the response to
voltage dips due to short circuit faults monophasic and
biphasic, as this type of asymmetric fault is the most
common to be considered in a power system, apart from
to its destructive character for both the system in general
and for the devices involved.
The high cost of switching and protection equipment in
high voltage networks, requires the calculation of short
circuit currents with some accuracy, as the sizing of the
equipment may be unacceptable from the economic
standpoint. The correct determination of the performance
of the equipment requires, in general, the study of various
types of failure. Each of them represents different
network imbalances which give rise to a different stress
on the equipment in each case. Thus, for example, the
maximum mechanical stress happens in the case of a
short circuit three-phase, while for determining the
inductive influence of leakage currents on the outside
facilities monophasic and biphasic failures present more
interest.
5. Simulation results
The comparative results are presented for the three
DGFACTS studied, for the two cases of voltage dips
directly linked to the presence of short-circuits correctly
cleared that may occur in the electricity system, with
these corresponding unbalanced faults (single-phase and
two-phase) with the profiles of magnitude and duration
specified in figures 4a and 4b, respectively.
