Abstract

The Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is used to regulate the voltage at the load terminals from various power quality problems like sag, swell, harmonics, unbalance etc. in supply voltage. This paper presents modelling aspects of several types of Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) working against various voltage sags by simulation. Dynamic voltage restorers (DVRs) are used to protect sensitive loads from the effects of voltage sags on the distribution feeder. Significant simulation results show that these several types of the modelled device can work very well against balanced and/or unbalanced voltages caused by faults in a distribution system. Detailed analyses illustrate that with suitable parameter setting these devices can deal with different levels of voltage sag severity. In addition, appropriate ways to obtain a good quality output voltage by a DVR during voltage sag is also presented. It then provides analyses of working performance of the device, including capability and quality of compensation. Index Terms- Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), Balanced and unbalanced faults, Compensation capability, Power quality sag severity, voltage sag.
