In this paper, latest technology is introduced in substitution to conventional voltage and current type inverter with Transformer based impedance (Z) source inverter in voltage sag assessment and mitigation and compared with voltage source inverter based dynamic voltage restorer. Transformer based impedance source inverters (Trans-Z source inverters) are newly proposed inverters that can be used to overcome downside of voltage source inverter, current source inverter and impedance source (Z-source) inverter. T-Z source inverter consists of transformer with high frequency and low leakage inductance along with low reactive component compared with conventional Z source inverter. In case of T-Z source inverter, voltage stress throughout Z-source capacitor is reduced along with inrush current limitation at startup. This paper presents modeling of T-Z source inverter based dynamic voltage restorer using MATLAB/SIMULINK software along with its THD analysis which is compared with VSI based dynamic voltage restorer. Here abc to dq0 control algorithm is employed. The control technique which is employed for simulation shows excellent results for voltage sag and swell compensation.

The paper deals with an optimized Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC), which aims at the integration of series active and shunt active power filters with minimum VA loading of the UPQC. The series active filter is a Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), which is operated in twofold functioning mode. During the unbalanced voltage sag, the DVR compensates the unbalance in the voltage sag. It also regulates the voltage at the load end with minimum VA loading of the overall UPQC by optimum angle voltage injection. Validity of the proposed scheme is proved through extensive simulation results.

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.


The aim of this paper is to present a new simplified topology for a Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) which has ability to mitigate single phase outage also. The proposed DVR has a multi-winding transformer, a direct converter and a series transformer for each phase. The multi winding transformer is connected between the direct converter and the grid. Only three bi-directional controlled switches are employed per phase. The direct converter is used to synthesis the required compensating voltage and the series transformer is used to add the compensating voltage in grid. The DVR can compensate balanced voltage sag, balanced swell, unbalanced swell and single phase outage by taking power from the grid. For compensating the voltage sag or outage in any one phase, the other two phase voltages are added using the multi winding transformer. The added voltage is pules-width modulated (PWM) using controlled switches to compensate the sag. Swell is compensated by taking power from the same phase. The simulation results confirm that the proposed topology can mitigate balanced sag of 50%, balanced swell of 100%, unbalanced swell of 100% and single phase outage.

<p class="Text"><span>The aim of this paper is to present a modulation technique to achieve highest voltage sag compensation using direct converter based dynamic voltage restorer (DVR). The DVR topology proposed in this paper, has a direct converter and a series transformer. The direct converter is fabricated using only two bi-directional switches. The DVR is designed to compensate the sag in a phase by taking power from the same phase. The direct converter is connected between the series transformer and the line in which sag compensation is to be achieved. Conventionally, the PWM pulses for the direct converters are produced by comparing the error signal with the carrier signal. The error signal is obtained by comparing the amplitude of voltage in the line with the amplitude of the reference voltage. If the amplitude of the carrier signal is kept constant and the actual amplitude of error signal is used for PWM generation, it is possible to achieve only 22% of voltage sag compensation. But if the error signal amplitude is modulated according to the amplitude of existing voltage sag in the line, 52% of the voltage sag can be compensated with the THD less than 5%. Simulation results are presented for validating the analysis. </span></p>

This paper presents a novel control strategy to control DG integrated DVR (dynamic voltage restorer) for mitigation voltage quality problems. Power quality is the most concerning areas in power engineering and voltage quality is of prime focus. Voltage sag, voltage swell and harmonics in voltage causes deterioration in quality of voltage delivered to load. A minor disturbance in voltage profile can degrade the performance of load. Dynamic voltage restorer is a quick responsive custom power device for voltage quality improvement. Photovoltaic (PV) system is considered as DG and output voltage of PV system is boosted with a boost converter to support voltage source converter of DVR. DG integrated DVR with novel control strategy for mitigation of voltage sag, swell and voltage harmonic is presented in this paper. The power system model with DG integrated DVR is developed and results are obtained using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Results are discussed during pre and post sag/swell condition with compensation and THD in voltage is maintained within nominal values.

This paper presents a control technique using Synchronous Reference Frame (SRF) theory to compensate the voltage sag/swell by using Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR). DVR is the best known device for mitigation of voltage sag/swell occurred in the system. Nowadays voltage sag is the most common problem customers are facing repeatedly. There is a need for instant mitigation of voltage sag/swell and maintains the load voltage constant. Some simulations are performed in MATLAB/Simulink and results are discussed to validate this theory for instant calculation of reference voltage and quick mitigation of voltage sag or swell from the system.
