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.

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.

<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 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.

Renewable energy sources provide the additional/satisfy the power to the consumer through power electronics interfaces and integrated with the grid. In grid integration power quality is one of the important parameter that need to be paying more attention. This proposed work focuses on power quality issues in a grid connected renewable energy system. Power quality issues will arises due to many factors here with the by introducing a fault condition in a grid connected renewable energy system the measurements were made at the point of common coupling and the mitigation is done with the help of a dynamic voltage restorer. The dynamic voltage restorer is a device which offers series compensation activated by neural network based controller. The sag improvement and the total harmonic assessment were made at the point of common coupling. Keywords: Neural network, Point of common coupling, Renewable energy source, Power quality, Dynamic voltage restorer ,electric grid.

Abstract Induction furnaces are used in wide quantity under different capacities for annual production of around 25 million tons of iron and steel in India. It plays a vital role in various manufacturing processes around the world for melting different types of metal scraps i. e. Copper, Cast Iron, Aluminium, Steel, Brass, Bronze, Silicon, Gold, Silver etc. which are further used in many other industrial applications. The induction furnace causes a huge disturbance to the utility and nearby consumers during its operation due to its non-linear characteristics. This is a serious phenomenon responsible for power quality degradation in the power system. This paper presents methodology to improve the power quality degradation caused by induction furnace using Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) which is a type of custom power device. The real time data has been taken from an industry employing induction furnace for production of ingots from scrap material. The experimental readings are measured using power quality analyser equipment. The simulation of whole plant is done by analysing this same data and the simulation results are compared with actual onsite results. Then, solution methodology using DVR is presented which revealed that the implementation of DVR is an effective solution for voltage sag mitigation and harmonics improvement in induction furnace.
