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.

Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is a method of overcoming voltage sag and swell in electrical power distribution. To boost up voltage levels on load side on power disturbances DVR can be used so as the equipment connected will have good voltage profile In this Pulse Width Modulation inverter is in solid-state electronic switching device were employed along with Integrated Gate Bipolar Transistor by the DVR, the alternating current voltage is controllable at real and reactive powers which are made independently. The MLI; is organized as the cascaded H-bridge inverter units. The function of Multilevel Inverter; is to arrange the voltages from a significant direct current source. Here in the DVR, there is no need for external output filters. In the planned DVR, a dc-dc converter is combined with an MLI. By considering the voltage sag magnitude of a dc-dc converter can regulate the dc-link voltage. Hence the output voltage of the multilevel inverter; always has a last number of levels. Instead of using the PWM based technique, the fundamental frequency method can be used in the multilevel inverter. The proposed DVR operation range of mathematical analysis is specified in detail. The simulation results are prepared by using Simulink/MATLAB.

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.

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.

Among various power quality problems, voltage sag and swell are dominant where loads are very sensitive to the voltage disturbances. Various custom power devices are introduced recently to overcome these voltage issues, dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is one of them. It offers very cost effective solution for problems such as voltage sag, swell and harmonics by establishing the proper voltage level during voltage disturbances to protect sensitive loads. In this paper, performance of DVR to improve power quality is done for solar photovoltaic (PV) based generation system feeding the grid and the three phase linear load. Solar PV generation system is implemented with an incre-mental conductance (IC) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique.  The DVR is connected in between solar PV system and load. The basic structure of DVR is modified by using the photovoltaic system as an alternative to DC source and in place of conventional 2-level voltage source converter (VSC) neutral point clamped (NPC) multi level inverter is used. The system performance is analyzed in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. The simulation results justified the efficiency of modified DVR in the mitigation of voltage sag in distri-bution system. Improvement of power quality by stabilizing voltage during fault and promoting renewable energy is the main framework of this work.
