COMPENSATION OF SAGS AND SWELLS VOLTAGE USING DYNAMIC VOLTAGE RESTORER (DVR) DURING SINGLE LINE TO GROUND AND THREE-PHASE FAULTS

ABSTRACT:

This paper deals with modelling and simulation technique of a Dynamic Voltage Restore (DVR). The DVR is a dynamic solution to protect sensitive loads against voltage sags and swells. The DVR can be implemented to protect a group of medium voltage or low voltage consumers. The new configuration of DVR has been proposed using improved d-q-0 controller technique. This study presents compensation of sags and swells voltage during single line to ground (SLG) fault and three-phase fault. Simulation results carried out by Matlab/Simulink verify the performance of the proposed method.

CONCLUSION:

The DVR modeling and simulation has been shown by the aid of Matlab/Simulink. The control system is based on dq0 technique which is a scaled error, between source side of the DVR and its reference for compensating sags and swells. The simulation shows that the DVR performance is efficient in mitigation of voltage sags and swells. According to the simulation results, the DVR is able to compensate the sags and swells during single line to ground (SLG) fault and three-phase fault. As result of the FFT analysis, the compensated load voltage by the DVR has appropriate THD. The DVR handles both balanced and unbalanced situations without any difficulties. It injects an appropriate voltage component to correct any anomaly rapidly in the supply voltage; in addition, it keeps the load voltage balanced and constant at the nominal value.
