Abstract:The power quality enhancement is very mandatory with the newer generation
load equipments, whose performance is very sensitive to power quality disturbances
especially with voltage sag, Harmonics and Interruption. The power electronic based
power conditioning devices can be the effective solution to enhance the quality of the
power supplied to the power distribution system. The series connected Dynamic
Voltage Restorer (DVR) is one of the effective solution to mitigate power quality
problems in the distribution system. In this paper, the Artificial Neural Network (ANN)
controlled DVR is designed and the performance of the rectifier load connected system
is investigated with conventional Proportional-Integral (PI) controller. The Levenberg-
Marquardt (LV) Back propagation algorithm is used to implement the control scheme of
the Voltage Source Inverter (VSI). The ANN is trained offline using data from PI
controller. In addition to the compensation of voltage sag and harmonics, the DVR is
also used to protect a linear load from various disturbances in the source voltage. Three
different types of faults with two level of voltage sag are analyzed and the performance
of DVR with these disturbances is modeled using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The
comprehensive result of the PI and ANN controllers are also presented.

1. Introduction
The present electric power distribution system have rising of electronics, electrical devices
are flattering smaller and more sensitive to power quality deviations [1]. The load equipments
of the modern generation are more sensitive than the equipment used in the past. The
deficiency of power quality can initiate production loss, economic loss and environmental
effect. The sags, swells and harmonics are the most important and frequently occurring power
quality problems in the distribution system. The CPDs are used in the power distribution
system to mitigate the above mentioned power quality problems. In addition to that the CPDs
are also used to compensate reactive power, current harmonics filtering, load current balancing
and power factor correction [2].The performance of CPDs for instance DVR in electric power
distribution system to amendment the PQ is greater significance. The DVR is able to
compensate load voltage from the incoming distorted source voltage [11].
The use of neural network, fuzzy logic, and genetic algorithm in power conditioning
devices are the newest techniques for the fastest response. Neural networks are composed of
numerous elements operating in parallel, which is, inspired by biological nervous systems. In
general, the network function is determined mostly by the connection between elements. To
obtained a particular function by training neural network through adjusting the value of

weights between elements. The neural network is trained offline using data from conventional
PI controller [5]. It will provide fast dynamic response
In this paper, an ANN controlled DVR is modelled for PQ enhancement in a three-phase,
three wire, power distribution system. A three leg VSI is used to inject or absorb the
appropriate voltage through an LC filter and an injection transformer to compensate load
voltage from the distorted supply voltage.TheLevenberg-MarquardtBack propagation
algorithm is used to implement the control scheme of the VSI. Initially the data from PI
controller is stored in workspace. These saved data is trained offline using ANN. In addition to
that, the DVR is also used to protect the sensitive linear load. The simulation results show the
effectiveness of the voltage restoration and its performance investigation of both control
techniques.
2. Configuration
The proposed DVR system composed of VSI, LC filter, Energy storage, controller and an
injection Transformer as shown in figure 1. The VSI inject an appropriate voltage to restore a
sensitive load voltage through an injection transformer and LC filter from an external energy
storage unit.
Figure 1. DVR topology using VSI
The VSI converts the input DC supply to the 3Ф controllable AC supply. The IGBT
(Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) based VSI gives an output with higher frequency harmonic
content waveform. To mitigate this problem and provide good power quality supply an LC
filter is used. The LC filter is sited next to the VSI, to reduce the switching harmonics. So the
harmonic free supply is passing through the series transformer and it will also reduce the rating
of the injection transformer. Individual 1Ф Transformer is used for all the three phases. The
higher rating of the transformer having lower harmonics but the cost of the transformer linearly
increases with its rating.
The operating voltage of the proposed system is 415V, 50Hz. Initially the 11KV source
voltage is stepped down to 415V by step down transformer. The value of voltage and current
presented in this paper are converted into per unit (p.u.). All the parameters used in the
simulation model of the proposed system are given in the Appendix. The voltage sag is
initiated by faults on the feeder-1(F1), so the voltage drop occurred at the feeder-2(F2).

Whenever the voltage sag is detected at F2, the DVR will inject a compensating voltage
through an injection transformer. Hence the voltage at F2 is always sinusoidal and balanced.
Two loads are connected in the distribution system: Linear load (parallel resistive,
inductive and Capacitive load), Non-Linear and unbalanced load (Three phase diode bridge
rectifier connected to resistive and Inductive, non linear resistive and inductance load). The
Rectifier load which is connected in the F1 is non linear and unbalanced. The presence of non
linear and unbalanced loads at F1, the voltage at F2 is distorted. Similarly the fault at the F1
causes sag at F2. In the absence of the DVR, the voltage flowing through the F2 is also
distorted.
The DVR is connected in series with the linear sensitive load through an injection
transformer. Consequently the series compensating device can tolerate voltage sag and short
term interruptions. The injection transformer is also used to boost up the injecting voltage. The
DVR is also functioning as a series active filter to mitigate harmonics present in the F2. So that
the rms value of F2 is sinusoidal and balanced.
3. DVR control strategy
Control strategy is the main part of the DVR system. The main function of a DVR control
system is to detect the disturbances occurring in the system and compute the missing voltage to
generate gate pulses using Discrete PWM generator, then the IGBT inverter converts the input
DC voltage to a sinusoidal AC voltage through an LC filter and injection Transformer. The
compensating voltage injected by the DVR system is stopped, only after the absence of the sag
disturbance. In this work, the park’s transformation is used to calculate the missing voltage.
The abc to dqo transformation is transformed the 3Ф stationary coordinate system to dq
rotating coordinate system. In abc_to_dq0, the following transformation is used.
sin sin sin (1)
cos ωt cos cos (2)
(3)
The dq coordinate which is compared with the reference value, will calculate the
disturbance in the dq coordinate and these can be transformed again to abc coordinate. The
Phase Locked Loop (PLL) measures the system frequency and gives the phase synchronous
angle θ for the dq coordinate system. In this work, two different control techniques which are
ANN and PI controller are proposed. The comprehensive result for the above mentioned
controllers are presented to investigate the performance of each controller in the proposed
system.
A. PI Controller
A controller is required to control or to operate DVR during the fault conditions only. The
linear load voltage is sensed and forwarded through a sequence analyzer. To eliminate zero
sequence components from abc components is the advantage of abc to dqo transformation. The
d- coordinate and q-coordinate have separate PI controller. The PI controller is a feedback
controller which controlled by the summation of the error and integral of that values as shown
in figure 2.
435

Figure 2. PI Controller
The input of the PI controller is the error between actual voltage (F2 voltage) and the
reference voltage. The reference voltage for d-coordinate is 1 p.u. and q-coordinate is 0 p.u.
The proportional and integral gains of the d-coordinate PI controller are 40 and 154
respectively. In q-coordinate PI controller the proportional gain is 25 and its integral gain is
260. The PI controller output is converted to 3 phase voltage and is forwarded to discrete PWM
pulse generator. The generated pulse is given to the VSI to trigger IGBT switches.
B. ANN Controller
To improve the performance of the compensating device, a multilayer back propagation
type ANN controller is used. The matlab toolbox is used to train ANN. The training algorithm
used in the ANN controller is Levenberg Marquardt Back propagation algorithm. Gradient
Descent (GD) Method is the first order optimization algorithm and it is used to find a local
minimum of a given function. This method is robust when it starts far of the final minimum;
however it has poor final convergence. The LM back propagation algorithm is the second order
optimization and it interpolates between the GD and the Gauss Newton (GN) algorithm. The
LM algorithm is more robust and it finds a solution even if it does begin very far from the final
optimum. The LM algorithm is the best by comparing GN algorithm and GD method [12].

Faster convergence, low memory required and capable learning are also the advantages of
using Levenbergmarquardt back propagation algorithm [9]. All the values are used to train the
ANN are taken from conventional PI controller. The designed ANN controller has 3 layers
composed of 2 input layers, 10 hidden layers and 1 output layer. The input of the ANN
controller is the error and change in error signals from both d and q coordinates system, which
is the difference between actual value and reference value. The minimization of the error is the
target expected in ANN controller. The output of the ANN controller, is converting dqo to abc
components. Mean square error is the performance function of the ANN controller, which is
the error between input and target values.
Figure 4. ANN Controller
The ANN training is stopped, if the number of maximum epoch to train is reached or the
time is beyond the maximum limit or the performance is minimized to the goal or the
performance gradient falls below minimum gradient or initial blending factor (mu) beyond
maximum mu or the performance of the validation has increased more than the Maximum
validation failures. In this work the number of epoch required to train the ANN in d-coordinate
is 67 and the best validation performance is 0.00030248 at epoch 61. In q-coordinate the total
number of epochs is 81 and the best validation performance is 0.032883 at epoch 75. The ANN
is trained offline and it is designed to control the DVR. After the completion of offline training
the generated ANN controller is placed in the replacement of PI controller as shown in figure 3
and figure 4.The Discrete PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) pulse generator generates firing
pulses to trigger IGBT switches.
4. Results and discussions
The Modelling of Dynamic voltage restorer with PI and ANN control was simulated using
Matlab/Simulink. In this simulation model we have a system in which two parallel feeders F1
and F2. In the feeder F1the nonlinear rectifier load and unbalance load are connected. In F2 the
linear RL load is connected and it is considered as a sensitive load. In the feeder F2the series
connected CPD is connected in series with the F2 to protect linear load from various voltage
disturbance from the source voltage or from F1. Here DVR system is connected to the
distribution system using a booster or injection transformer. PI control based Dynamic voltage
restorer is shown from figure 5 to 10.
The Compensation of 3Ф fault with 50% sag using PI controller based DVR which is
shown in figure 5. The first two wave shapes in the entire figure presented in the results,
represents input source voltage in volts (V) and F2 load voltage in volts with respect to time.
The next two wave shapes are injected voltage in volts and F2 load current in amps (A). The
last wave shapes represents uncompensated load voltage (F1 load voltage) in volts. All the
values of voltage and current presented in the test system are converted into per unit. The
perfect series compensation is to inject only the required amount of voltage, which is the
difference between the source voltage and load voltage. It can be seen in figure 5 the amount of
voltage sag created is 0.5 pu, so the voltage injected by the DVR is 0.05 pu. The 1:10 ratio of
booster transformer is used for injecting voltage to the system, so 0.05 pu injection is equal to
0.5 pu. After compensation the load voltage and current at F2 are fundamental, balanced and
undistorted. In the steady state operation it does not inject any voltage in the distribution
system.

The duration of fault is from 0.02s to 0.09s at that time the DVR is injected the missing sag
voltage. During the fault duration the source voltage and F1 voltage are distorted heavily due to
presence of harmonic component and voltage sag. The Compensation of single line to ground
fault with 50% sag using PI controller based DVR which is shown in figure 6. In this type, the
fault is applied at Phase A. so that, A phase is only injected by the DVR.

Conclusion
In this work, the simulation model of rectifier connected power distribution system with
Dynamic voltage Restorer controlled by PI and ANN Controller has been developed using
Matlab/Simulink. A simple control technique based on park transformation with Discrete
PWM generation is proposed for DVR. The results presented in this paper shows that, the
harmonics caused by nonlinear load and two levels of voltage sag caused by single line to
ground fault, double line to ground fault and three phase fault are effectively compensated by
the proposed DVR system. The proposed ANN controller has slight improvement in harmonic
elimination when comparing with the conventional PI controller. However the ANN controller
has faster response and minimum THD level than the PI controller.
