A Voltage Bus Conditioner (VBC) is used to mitigate the voltage transients on a common power distribution bus. The VBC described here utilises inductive storage and unlike its counter part with capacitive storage, it can employ the entire stored energy towards transients' mitigation. The performances of adaptive duty ratio control and sliding mode control have been compared. The simulation results (with the package SABER) indicate that the sliding mode control results in the shortest and the smallest bus voltage excursions.
