Today most of the industries and customers are using sensitive and sophisticated electrical equipment based on semiconductor devices, these may causes power quality disturbance. The major problems are voltage sag and swell. The sag and swell not only occur by disturbed power quality but also due to high system tapping at point of common coupling. To overcome this problem and to improve power quality the distribution companies uses various custom power devices. Among the various custom power devices Dynamic voltage restorer is used for compensation in this paper, which is most popular and widely used method. Here, In phase compensation technique of DVR is used with battery energy storage system. The voltage at PCC have been observed. The control technique employed here is SRF theory with PI controller. The overall work is carried out in MATLAB Simulink.

Voltage sag and harmonics are the most frequent power quality problems faced by industrial and commercial customers today. Situation has been aggravated by modern sensitive industrial equipments which introduce system harmonics due to their inherent V-I characteristics. In this paper, proportional integral (PI) control technique based dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is implemented in power distribution system to suppress voltage sag and harmonics under linear, non-linear and induction motor load conditions. Real-time power distribution system and DVR test models are built in Matlab/Simulink software. Simulation results exhibit excellent PI control approach with effective performance yielding excellent voltage regulation.

<p>Dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is a series active filter device that is used to protect sensitive loads from power quality issues such as voltage sag, swell, harmonics or disturbances. This implies that the DVR is capable to mitigate power quality disturbances at load terminal. Harmonic is a major power quality problem polluting distribution network causing the end-user equipment to fail operating due to the occurrence of disturbances in voltage, current or frequency. This paper discusses on the DVR used as the proposed technique to mitigate the voltage sag and swell in a distribution network connected with energy storage system and mini-hydro turbine system.</p>

Abstract— Recently a large interest has been focused on power quality field due to: disturbances caused by non-linear loads, Increase in the number of electronic devices and renewable energy sources. Power quality measures the fitness of the electric power transmitted from generation to the industrial, domestic and commercial consumers. In a power system voltage distortion introduced by harmonics and voltage sags are the most severe affecting power quality, because of both consumers and utilities are affected by these disturbances. Different methods to enhance the power quality but the custom power device is the most effective and efficient method. One of which is the use of Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR). The performance of the DVR based on Fuzzy Neural controller to restore the load voltage to its nominal value under different fault conditions and power disturbances is presented in this paper. Simulation results are carried out using MATLAB/SIMULINK program. The faults and disturbances are initiated at 0.8s and kept till 0.95s.

<p>This paper presents the application of dynamic voltage restorers (DVR) on power distribution Systems for mitigation of voltage sags/swells at critical loads. DVR is one of the compensating types of custom power devices. The power quality is affected mainly due to the sensitive loads which results in voltage sag and voltage swells. It is necessary to investigate the suitable methods for mitigation of voltage sags. Sensitivity is the main cause of the above power quality problems and it cannot be eliminated completely as it has many other operating properties. So the next possible solution is to correct the problems caused by the sensitive equipments connected to the faulty loads. The occurrence of sag and swell varies with equipment, environment, process operations, desired control schemes etc. From the wide range of mitigation methods, the selected one has to be observed for the effect on the characteristics. These problems can be mitigated with voltage injection method using custom power device, Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR). In this paper we design a Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) which is utilized for power quality improvement. The main power quality problems like voltage sag and swell are studied in this paper. The device used to phase out voltage sags and a swell in the distribution lines is the Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR). The Dynamic Voltage Restorer is a special type of power device used for providing consistent and reliable supply power to the load devices. Dynamic Voltage Restorer uses a vector control strategy for mitigating power quality problems by automatically detecting and injecting the voltage components through an injection transformer. Here comes the importance of soft computing techniques like PI controller. The system will be able to correct repeated occurrences of the power quality problems. </p>

The custom power park (CPP) is a concept that has been developed for the purpose of dealing with power quality problems. The CPP is powered by two independent feeders and consists of different types of custom power devices for compensation (dynamic voltage restorer, DVR) and reconfiguration (static transfer switch, STS). Normally, the loads are fed by the preferred feeder (PF) through the STS. When a fault occurs in the PF, the STS performs a reconfiguration of the feeders and feeds the load with an alternate feeder. In this paper, a two-input DVR based on the matrix converter is proposed to provide stable voltage to the load. Each of the DVR inputs is connected to a different feeder, and the PF powers the load. Thus, the DVR has an operational behavior like the STS when reconfiguring the energy transfer of the two feeders and injects it into the PF to guarantee a stable voltage in the load. The control algorithm in the DVR is performed in the dq reference frame to have a unit power factor in feeders and load. The modulation schemes are based on space vector modulation and modified carrier based pulse width modulation. The efficiency and multifunctionality of the proposed DVR is corroborated by simulations on the MATLAB/Simulink.


The integration of renewable energy sources, smart grid systems and extensive usage of power electronic devices, micro-controlled based device, variable speed drives etc. causes a number of power quality issues including electrical harmonics, voltage sag, voltage swell and imbalance creates an impact on the efficiency of electrical equipment. the energy maintaining poor power quality will affect consumers and their utility equipment’s. Power quality means quality of the normal voltage supplied to your facility. Voltage provided should be as close as possible to nominal voltage. The waveform must be pure sine wave free from any harmonics and other disturbances. The growing use of microprocessors and electronic equipment has made us to focus on power quality. Equipment and machinery can be damaged or even fail when subjected to power anomalies. Some of the power quality issues are voltage sag, swell, harmonics, flicker, interruption etc. Among these issues voltage sag is an important issue. This paper investigates about the causes of voltage sag, consequences and its mitigation. Many mitigation devices are available and the most economic effective solution is Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR). Simulation has been carried out to evaluate performance. A DVR is simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK using synchronous reference frame theory.

<p>At a recent time voltage distortion is one of the foremost power quality problem at all level of power system. Power electronic controllers like various filtering technology have been used for more desirable solution of power quality problems to users. But still there is a voltage and frequency deviations problem in the power system leads to reduce in quality of power and thereby reduce the life of consumer equipment. To overcome this drawback and protects the sensitive loads from power quality problems, custom power devices are used. Among various custom power devices, Dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is an ultimate solution to address the voltage correlated power quality problems. DVR is a usual three phase inverter which transforms DC to AC and vice-versa using DC link capacitor. Whenever utility is distorted by voltage correlated faults, DVR is dynamic and it shields the load from utility distortions. Whenever distortion arises, the control strategy for the DVR plays significant role to make the DVR in active condition. Among all control strategies, Synchronous reference frame theory is simple and suitable for DVR. The DVR topology is verified and validated using SIMULINK/MATLAB.</p>
