Abstract
The low-voltage DC distribution systems are comprised of various components with a wide range of power ratings. In such systems, compared with unipolar configurations, bipolar structures bring considerable superiority in terms of efficiency, safety, and compatibility. However, the scarcity of protection methods has restricted the expansion of bipolar DC grids. In line with this trend, this paper presents a dynamic series regulator (DSVR) for the protection of sensitive loads in bipolar DC distribution systems. The proposed DSVR injects dynamic voltage for a set of selected sensitive loads to suppress the probable voltage abnormalities in the system. Therefore, it provides desirable satisfaction of voltage quality metrics in bipolar DC power systems. The proposed DSVR is composed of a multi-active bridge converter with one primary and two secondary windings followed by two full-bridge DC-DC converters. To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed concept, various simulations of several case studies are carried out in the PLECS (Plexim) software.
