Power Quality Improvement Using Dynamic Voltage Restorer

Project Code :TEMAPS224

Objective

Main objective of this project is to mitigate the problem of distorted voltage due to sags, swell or harmonics.

Abstract

In this project, a Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is used to improve the power quality. Power Quality is an essential concern in the modern power system that can affect consumers and utility. The integration of renewable energy sources, smart grid systems and extensive use of power electronics equipment caused myriad problems in the modern electric power system. Current and voltage harmonics, voltage sag, and swell can damage the sensitive equipment. 

These devices are susceptible to input voltage variations created by interference with other parts of the system. Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is a potential Distribution Flexible AC Transmission System (D-FACTS) device widely adopted to surmount the problems of non-standard voltage, current, or frequency in the distribution grid. It injects voltages in the distribution line to maintain the voltage profile and assures constant load voltage.

Keywords: Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), Energy Storage Unit, 3-phase Grid.
