... MERS CONFIGURATION ANDOPERATIONPRINCIPLEA. ConfigurationThe configuration of this device is based on 4 IGBTs and adc capacitor per phase. It is called magnetic energy recovery switch (MERS) , ... a new voltage regulator applied to self-excited induction generator using SVC magnetic energy recovery switch (MERS) is proposed. Reactive compensation is required tomaintain rated voltage ... (static VAR compensation mag-netic energy recovery switch) as shown in Fig. 1 is used tocontrol the voltage of SEIG with low switching frequency,low switching losses, simple and fast control....
