Design, Modeling and Simulation of Dynamic Voltage Restorer for Voltage Swell/Sag Mitigation

摘要

While early FACTS devices consisted mainly of thyristor-controlled/switched RLC/transformer components, the newer generation is based on the self-commutated voltage-source power converter. Different shunt FACTS devices, namely Static VAR compensator (SVC) and Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM), Dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) in transmission line using the actual line model. This paper describes the problem of voltage sags and swells and its severe impact on non linear loads or sensitive loads. The dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) has become popular as a cost effective solution for the protection of sensitive loads from voltage sags and swells. The design procedure for various components of DVR is presented. Finally Matlab/Simulink based model is developed and simulation results are presented.
