This paper presents a novel control strategy to control DG integrated DVR
(dynamic voltage restorer) for mitigation voltage quality problems. Power
quality is the most concerning areas in power engineering and voltage quality
is of prime focus. Voltage sag, voltage swell and harmonics in voltage causes
deterioration in quality of voltage delivered to load. A minor disturbance in
voltage profile can degrade the performance of load. Dynamic voltage
restorer is a quick responsive custom power device for voltage quality
improvement. Photovoltaic (PV) system is considered as DG and output
voltage of PV system is boosted with a boost converter to support voltage
source converter of DVR. DG integrated DVR with novel control strategy for
mitigation of voltage sag, swell and voltage harmonic is presented in this
paper. The power system model with DG integrated DVR is developed and
results are obtained using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Results are discussed
during pre and post sag/swell condition with compensation and THD in

1. INTRODUCTION
Power quality is utmost concern for power engineers in these modern days scenario of loads mostly
being very sensitive. Advancements in power electronic segment gave greater flexibility in power system but
the usage of power electronic based loads can cause power quality issue like harmonics to be induced in to
the power system. Power system is subjected to faults very often due to local conditions, environmental
conditions, and natural conditions or due to power system conditions [1-2]. Faults can introduce sag or swell
in voltage profile of power system and presence of sag or swell in voltage profile seriously affects the power
system performance especially in load segment. The phenomenon of sag, swell or harmonics in voltage
waveform affects the voltage quality delivered and can seriously harm the devices connected at load centers.
Sag or swell phenomenon can be occurred with fault in either distribution system or in transmission
system and can occur at any instant of time and lasts for few seconds or milliseconds [3-4]. Sag is generally
observed in power system with the presence of short faults. Sag can also be observed in power system with
sudden switching ON of heavy loads. Sag is reduction in voltage profile in power system below 90% to 10%
of nominal RMS voltage. A small reduction in voltage level reduces the performance of load and even
reduces the efficiency. Sag in voltage profile can reduced the life period of the load devices.
Swell is increase in voltage level above 110% of the nominal RMS voltage. Unlike sag, swell is
very dangerous as it can damage the load devices [5-6]. Swell is observed due to sudden switching ON of
capacitor banks, sudden release of heavy loads. Swell in voltage profile is very rare in occurrence. Harmonics
in voltage profile are caused due to current harmonics [7-8]. Current harmonics are present due to non-linear

loads and this non-linear current induces harmonics in voltage profile. Source impedance can cause voltage
harmonics and for this source impedance is kept low in value to limit voltage harmonics.
Compensation schemes like the use of passive filters and other equipment for sag, swell and
harmonics are conventional but contemporary compensation scheme using power electronic converters are
used. N. G. Hingorani in the year 1995 developed the concept of FACTS and custom power devices for smart
control and flow of power in transmission system and distribution system respectively. Custom power
devices are power electronic based compensators used to address power quality problems.

Dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) [9-10] is a compensation type custom power device primarily used
for compensation of voltage quality issues. Voltage profile problems like voltage sag, voltage swell. Voltage
harmonics in distribution system can be affectively addressed by using DVR. DVR is a series compensator
circuit placed in series with the power system line. A typical block diagram of DVR connected in power
system is shown in Figure 1. General DVR configuration consists of capacitor as DC source to provide stiff
voltage. To deliver heavy compensating voltages from voltage source converter of DVR and capacitor might
not be sufficient enough to deliver required compensating voltages. A simple photovoltaic (PV) system as
distributed generation (DG) is placed to support the voltage source converter of DVR to provide strength to
deliver required compensating voltages from voltage source converter of DVR.

This paper presents a novel control strategy to control DG integrated DVR (dynamic voltage
restorer) for mitigation voltage quality problems. Voltage sag, voltage swell and harmonics in voltage causes
deterioration in quality of voltage delivered to load. A minor disturbance in voltage profile can degrade the
performance of load. Photovoltaic (PV) system is considered as DG and output voltage of PV system is
boosted with a boost converter to support voltage source converter of DVR. PV equivalent circuit is shown in

harmonic is presented in this paper. The power system model with DG integrated DVR is developed and
results are obtained using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Results are discussed during pre and post sag/swell
condition with compensation and THD in voltage is maintained within nominal values.
2. DG INTEGRATED DVR FOR VOLTAGE QUALITY ISSUES
Dynamic voltage restorer is a series compensating type custom power device placed in series to
power system line to compensate voltage quality problems. A DVR is typically a voltage source converter
consisting of solid-state switches. DVR induces voltage in to power system line for voltage problem
compensation. Generally, voltage source converter is driven with a small DC voltage source typically a
capacitor. If the voltage quality problem is weighted, capacitor perhaps cannot drive voltage source converter
of DVR for compensating voltages. A simple photovoltaic (PV) system as distributed generation (DG) is
placed to support the voltage source converter of DVR. The output of PV system is boosted with the help of
simple boost converter. PV system with boost converter provides strength to deliver required compensating
voltages from voltage source converter of DVR during weighted voltage profile issues. DG with PV system
and boost converter integrated DVR connected in power system line is shown in Figure 3. The solid-state
switches of DVR are triggered by the pulses obtained from control circuit. DVR is sourced from PV fed
boost converter as shown in Figure 3.

3. NOVEL CONTROL STRATEGY FOR DVR
The novel control strategy of DG integrated DVR for suppression of sag, swell and voltage
harmonics in distribution system is shown in Figure 4. Source voltage is sensed from input source bus and
information regarding Va, Vb and Vc are obtained from source voltage Vs. From phase-A, ie., from Va,
signal Vα is obtained. By delaying Vα signal by 900
yields Vβ signal. From the obtained Vα and Vβ signals,
V2
α and V2
β are obtained and both are added. Applying square-root to obtained signal (V2
α+V2
β) yields
actual maximum value of voltage. This actual value is compared with reference signal and is multiplied with
signal shape obtained from phase locked loop. Similar process is carried out for remaining two phases Vb
and Vc. The shape of the waveform is delayed by 1200
and 2400
respectively for phase-B and phase-C. The
final signals of three phases are sent to PWM generator to produce pulses to switches in DVR. Figure 5
shows the overall schematic arrangement of DG integrated DVR with proposed novel control strategy.

INTRODUCTION Power quality is utmost concern for power engineers in these modern days scenario of loads mostly being very sensitive. Advancements in power electronic segment gave greater flexibility in power system but the usage of power electronic based loads can cause power quality issue like harmonics to be induced in to the power system. Power system is subjected to faults very often due to local conditions, environmental conditions, and natural conditions or due to power system conditions [1-2]. Faults can introduce sag or swell in voltage profile of power system and presence of sag or swell in voltage profile seriously affects the power system performance especially in load segment. The phenomenon of sag, swell or harmonics in voltage waveform affects the voltage quality delivered and can seriously harm the devices connected at load centers. Sag or swell phenomenon can be occurred with fault in either distribution system or in transmission system and can occur at any instant of time and lasts for few seconds or milliseconds [3-4]. Sag is generally observed in power system with the presence of short faults. Sag can also be observed in power system with sudden switching ON of heavy loads. Sag is reduction in voltage profile in power system below 90% to 10% of nominal RMS voltage. A small reduction in voltage level reduces the performance of load and even reduces the efficiency. Sag in voltage profile can reduced the life period of the load devices. Swell is increase in voltage level above 110% of the nominal RMS voltage. Unlike sag, swell is very dangerous as it can damage the load devices [5-6]. Swell is observed due to sudden switching ON of capacitor banks, sudden release of heavy loads. Swell in voltage profile is very rare in occurrence. Harmonics in voltage profile are caused due to current harmonics [7-8]. Current harmonics are present due to non-linear

Source impedance can cause voltage harmonics and for this source impedance is kept low in value to limit voltage harmonics. Compensation schemes like the use of passive filters and other equipment for sag, swell and harmonics are conventional but contemporary compensation scheme using power electronic converters are used. N. G. Hingorani in the year 1995 developed the concept of FACTS and custom power devices for smart control and flow of power in transmission system and distribution system respectively. Custom power devices are power electronic based compensators used to address power quality problems. Load Source Vdc T/F DVR Figure 1. General block diagram of DVR in power system Dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) [9-10] is a compensation type custom power device primarily used for compensation of voltage quality issues. Voltage profile problems like voltage sag, voltage swell. Voltage harmonics in distribution system can be affectively addressed by using DVR. DVR is a series compensator circuit placed in series with the power system line. A typical block diagram of DVR connected in power system is shown in Figure 1. General DVR configuration consists of capacitor as DC source to provide stiff voltage. To deliver heavy compensating voltages from voltage source converter of DVR and capacitor might not be sufficient enough to deliver required compensating voltages. A simple photovoltaic (PV) system as distributed generation (DG) is placed to support the voltage source converter of DVR to provide strength to deliver required compensating voltages from voltage source converter of DVR.

Results are discussed during pre and post sag/swell condition with compensation and THD in voltage is maintained within nominal values. 2. DG INTEGRATED DVR FOR VOLTAGE QUALITY ISSUES Dynamic voltage restorer is a series compensating type custom power device placed in series to power system line to compensate voltage quality problems. A DVR is typically a voltage source converter consisting of solid-state switches. DVR induces voltage in to power system line for voltage problem compensation. Generally, voltage source converter is driven with a small DC voltage source typically a capacitor. If the voltage quality problem is weighted, capacitor perhaps cannot drive voltage source converter of DVR for compensating voltages. A simple photovoltaic (PV) system as distributed generation (DG) is placed to support the voltage source converter of DVR. The output of PV system is boosted with the help of simple boost converter. PV system with boost converter provides strength to deliver required compensating voltages from voltage source converter of DVR during weighted voltage profile issues. DG with PV system and boost converter integrated DVR connected in power system line is shown in Figure 3. The solid-state switches of DVR are triggered by the pulses obtained from control circuit. DVR is sourced from PV fed boost converter as shown in Figure 3.

DG integrated DVR connected in power system line 3. NOVEL CONTROL STRATEGY FOR DVR The novel control strategy of DG integrated DVR for suppression of sag, swell and voltage harmonics in distribution system is shown in Figure 4. Source voltage is sensed from input source bus and information regarding Va, Vb and Vc are obtained from source voltage Vs. From phase-A, ie., from Va, signal Vα is obtained. By delaying Vα signal by 900 yields Vβ signal. From the obtained Vα and Vβ signals, V2 α and V2 β are obtained and both are added. Applying square-root to obtained signal (V2 α+V2 β) yields actual maximum value of voltage. This actual value is compared with reference signal and is multiplied with signal shape obtained from phase locked loop. Similar process is carried out for remaining two phases Vb and Vc. The shape of the waveform is delayed by 1200 and 2400 respectively for phase-B and phase-C. The final signals of three phases are sent to PWM generator to produce pulses to switches in DVR. Figure 5 shows the overall schematic arrangement of DG integrated DVR with proposed novel control strategy.
