Increased utilization of nonlinear loads in the power distribution system with profound integration of renewable energy requires improved power quality control. This paper proposes a Reformed Second Order Generalized Integrated (R-SOGI) control scheme for enhancing the output of the Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) for the objective of achieving the desired sinusoidal voltage wave shape at the common point of services and harmonic reduction. The DVR incorporates a Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) system using the Z-source Inverter (ZSI), providing the necessary active power to mitigate the voltage sag/swell and power demand. ZSI offers step-down as well as step-up abilities, it makes the converters to operate in the conditions of shoot-through. Therefore, the application of ZSI-based DVR topology seems very promising. The compensating reference voltage is generated by the R-SOGI algorithm, which offers superior output under conditions for grid voltage irregularities, including voltage sag/swell and unbalanced and distorted utility grid voltages. In comparison to DVR based on the VSI voltage inverter (VSI), the response from ZSI-DVR to a reduction of voltage distortions and harmonics is investigated. An experimental SPV ZSI-DVR prototype is developed in the laboratory to check the effectiveness of the controller and is tested under balanced and unbalanced supply and dynamic load conditions.

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.

With the advancement of technology, the dependency on the electrical energy has been increased greatly. Computer and telecommunication networks, railway network banking, post offices, and life support systems are a few applications that cannot function without electricity. At the same time, these applications demand qualitative energy. However, the quality of power supplied is affected by various internal and external factors of the power system. Harmonics, voltage, and frequency variations deteriorate the performance of the system. Voltage sag/dip is the most frequent problem and there are many methods to overcome this problem. The use of FACT devices is an efficient one. This chapter discusses an overview of the FACT device known as dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) in mitigating voltage sag. The strategy to control this device is also presented. The proposed control strategies are simulated in MATLAB SIMULINK environment and analyzed. The method is utilized and discussed briefly.

Power quality has become an increasingly important topic in the performance of many industrial applications. One of the major issues in improving power quality in distribution networks is the mitigation of voltage sags. Voltage sag can be mitigated by voltage and power injections into the distribution system using Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR). The DVR is a powerful controller that is commonly used for voltage sags mitigation at the point of connection. This paper describes of modeling and analysis of DVR. Different types of faults are applied for DVR in distribution network and the responses of the system for these disturbances are examined. Simulation results obtained in PSCAD/EMTDC also prove that the DVR can mitigate voltage sag and protect bus bar voltage from various types of faults.

In this paper discuss the new approach for improving displacement factor using an Interline Dynamic Voltage Restoring and Displacement Factor Controlling Device (IVDFC) in a distribution system. An Interline Dynamic Voltage Restorer (IDVR) is perpetually engaged in distribution systems to mitigate voltage sag/swell problems. An IDVR simply consists of numerous dynamic voltage restorers (DVRs) sharing a common dc link connecting independent feeders to safe electric power to critical loads. The IDVR is operated that it hold the voltage across the critical load bus terminals constant at system nominal frequency irrespective of the changes occurring in source voltages frequency. While one of the DVRs compensates for the local voltage sag in its feeder, the other DVRs reload the common dc-link voltage. For normal voltage levels, the DVRs should be bypassed. Instead of bypassing the DVRs in normal conditions, this paper proposes operating the DVRs, if needed, to improve the displacement factor (DF) of one of the involved feeders. DF improvement can be achieved via active and reactive power exchange (PQ sharing) between different feeders. To successfully apply this concept, several constraints are addressed throughout the paper. The simulation model for this system is developed using MATLAB which is shown that the voltage across the critical load is regulated completely.

Electrical ac power systems consist of generation systems, transmission and distribution networks. The large three phase industrial loads at various distribution and transmission voltages as well as single-phase residential and commercial loads are supplied by the networks. Nowadays, the power quality such as voltage sags/swell, transient interrupts and harmonic distortions in sinusoidal waveforms are concerned with most of the electrical loads. The power quality problems such as voltage sags, swells and harmonics are caused by the widespread using of power electronics devices in power system. In this paper, electrical voltage sags/swells of power quality problems are considered because this problem is one of the most severe disturbances to the industrial equipment of distribution system. Thus, mitigation of these voltages in distribution system is necessary. So, series connected power electronics based device such as Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is chosen to compensate these voltage for mitigating quickly the voltage sag/swell in the system and restoring the load voltage to the nominal value. For case study, Myaungtagar industrial zone is chosen due to furnaces and large motor drives that cause the common problems such as voltage sag/swell in this system. In this paper, performance analysis of voltage sag/swell compensation of power distribution system with Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) under various fault conditions is carried out. The proposed configuration model uses MATLAB/SIMULINK and the performance of voltage compensation and restoration of load voltage to the nominal value with DVR under various fault conditions is verified by the simulation results.

In a power distribution system, faults occurring can cause voltage sag that can affect critical loads connected in the power network which can cause serious effects in the oil and gas industry. The objective of this paper is to design and implement an efficient and economical dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) to compensate for voltage sag conditions in the oil and gas industry. Due to the complexity and sensitivity of loads, a short voltage sag duration can still cause severe power quality problems to the entire system. Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is a static series compensating type custom power device. The overall efficiency of the DVR largely relies on the effectiveness of the control strategy governing the switching of the inverters. It can be said that the heart of the DVR control strategy is the derivation of reference currents. This paper deals with the extraction of reference current values using a controller based on a combination of probabilistic and fuzzy set theory. The basis of the proposed controller is that Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) which is a probabilistic approach can be translated to an additive fuzzy interface system i.e. Generalized Fuzzy Model (GFM). The proposed controller (GMM-GFM) initially optimizes the membership functions using GMM and the final output is calculated using GFM in a single iteration i.e. with no recursions. In the control scheme two control loops are used: a feed-forward loop that uses the Proportional and Integral (PI) controller and the feedback loop uses GMM-GFM based controller. The controller is implemented and respective simulations are performed in the MATLAB SIMULINK environment for three-phase, three-wire distribution system with various issues. A comparative analysis is then done amongst all the three controllers which are based on the T-S, ML, and GMM-GFM modes respectively. The simulation results of this comparison rank the DVR with the GMM-GFM controller first, followed by the fuzzy logic Mamdani model and then with the fuzzy logic T-S model.
