Investigation on Dynamic Voltage Restorers With Two DC-Links and Series Converters for Three-Phase Four-Wire Systems

 IEEE, 2014

ABSTRACT

This paper proposes three dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) topologies. Such configurations are able to compensate voltage sags/swells in three-phase four-wire (3P4W) systems under balanced and unbalanced conditions. The proposed systems in this work use two independent dc-links. The complete control system, including the PWM technique, is developed and comparisons between the proposed configurations and a conventional one are performed. Simulation and experimental results are provided to validate the theoretical approach.

SOFTWARE: MATLAB/SIMULINK

CONCLUSION

In this paper three four-wire dynamic voltage restorers (DVRs) have been presented. The studied configurations in this work are based on the concept of open-end winding. Simulated and experimental results presented show that the proposed DVRs are feasible and suitable for power distribution system with YY transformers with neutrals grounded.
