ABSTRACT
This paper
deals with improving the voltage quality of sensitive loads from voltage sags
using dynamic voltage restorer (DVR). The higher active power requirement
associated with voltage phase jump compensation has caused a substantial rise
in size and cost of dc link energy storage system of DVR. The existing control
strategies either mitigate the phase jump or improve the utilization of dc link
energy by (i) reducing the amplitude of injected voltage, or (ii) optimizing
the dc bus energy support. In this paper, an enhanced sag compensation strategy
is proposed that mitigates the phase jump in the load voltage while improving
the overall sag compensation time. An analytical study shows that the proposed
method significantly increases the DVR sag support time (more than 50%)
compared with the existing phase jump compensation methods. This enhancement
can also be seen as a considerable reduction in dc link capacitor size for new
installation. The performance of proposed method is evaluated using simulation
study.

CONCLUSION
In this paper an enhanced sag
compensation scheme is proposed for capacitor supported DVR. The proposed
strategy improves the voltage quality of sensitive loads by protecting them
against the grid voltage sags involving the phase jump. It also increases
compensation time by operating in minimum active power mode through a
controlled transition once the phase jump is compensated. To illustrate the
effectiveness of the proposed method an analytical comparison is carried out
with the existing phase jump compensation schemes. It is shown that
compensation time can be extended from 10 to 25 cycles (considering pre sag
injection as the reference method) for the designed limit of 50% sag depth with
450 phase jump. Further extension in compensation time can be achieved for
intermediate sag depths. This extended compensation time can be seen as
considerable reduction in dc link capacitor size (for the studied case more
than 50%) for the new installation. The effectiveness of the proposed method is
evaluated through extensive simulations in MATLAB/Simulink and validated on a
scaled lab prototype experimentally. The experimental results demonstrate the
feasibility of the proposed phase jump compensation method for practical
applications.
