scholarly journals Implementation of Single Phase SRF based Dynamic Voltage Restorer in Distribution System for Power Quality Improvement

Power Quality (PQ) is becoming an important issue as the increase in electricity use continues. Reduction in the quality of electrical power is due to various kinds of voltage related problems such as voltage sag, voltage swell, short-lived interruptions, harmonic distortions, notches, flickers, spikes and transients. The major power quality problems in single phase system are voltage sag and harmonics. The Mitigation of voltage sag and harmonics in single phase system under the distorted power supply situations was effectively eliminated with Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR). The single-phase SRFT (Synchronous Reference Frame Theory) was implemented in the controller design for DVR. DVR will produce required amount of instantaneous voltage to be injected. Designed controller technique will utilize the function of Moving Average Filter (MAF) for getting the fundamental quantity of positive sequence component from the disturbed supply voltage. Experimental results of DVR prove its effectiveness to mitigate voltage sag and harmonics during disturbed power supply condition.

<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>

Power delivered to consumer from utilities is susceptible to power quality problems. The most common power quality problems are voltage sag. Modern equipment nowadays are prone to problems associated with voltage sag. Such problems can be apprehended by several mitigation methods. This paper will discuss voltage sag mitigation method by eliminating the injection transformer in ordinary Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) and applying Single Phase Matrix Converter (SPMC) in a single phase DVR topologies. The objective of this paper is to investigate the potential mitigation method without the injection transformer in the DVR topology. DVR circuit will be constructed and simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK software. It is hoped that the result of this work will provide a simpler mitigation technique where existing DVR topology can be constructed with less component that provides unnecessary losses in the DVR itself.IndexTerms—Injection Transformer, DVR, SPMC, MATLAB/SIMULINK.

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.

The power system network is becoming dense and much more complex. Dynamic and continuous monitoring of the power system network is required to avoid power outages. Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) is one such device that provides state estimation parameters of dynamic power system networks that are used for designing relays and controlling the system network. Power Quality problems such as voltage sags and swells can damage the sensitive load and cause abnormal voltage, current, and frequency conditions in a power system network. Fast and major developments in power electronics technology have made it possible to mitigate the power quality problems. Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is a voltage sag compensation device that compensates the difference in voltage avoiding interruptions and restores the voltage to the pre-fault value. This paper discusses a technique used for monitoring, protecting, and controlling the system under fault condition using PMU and compensate voltage sag for a sensitive load using DVR based on the data collected by placing PMU in an optimal location. The outcome of the above analysis is recorded which shows that effective monitoring, controlling, and voltage sag compensation can be done with less number of PMU’s placed optimally in conjunction with DVR.


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.
