Today, with attention to increase in sensitive electrical equipments application in distribution networks and their susceptibility to the power quality deficiencies, the protection necessity of sensitive loads against undesirable effects of these disturbances are in focus. So, in this paper voltage sag deficiency and Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) would be introduced as the most prevalent power...

In future grid codes wind farms will have to fulfill demanding fault ride through requirements. Among several grid faults the voltage swell is a critical event. Wind farms with doubly-fed induction generators will not be able to fulfill the new grid code requirements without additional fault mitigation equipment. In this publication the applicability of the Dynamic Voltage Restorer and the Stat...

Dynamic Voltage Restorer can provide the most cost effective solution to mitigate voltage sags and swells by establishing the proper voltage quality level that is required by customer. This device is connected in series with the distribution feeder at medium voltage. The PI controller is very common in the control of DVRs. However, one disadvantage of this conventional controller is the fact th...

To meet the strict criteria of grid codes for the integrated wind farm with the grid has become a major point of concern for engineers and researchers today. Moreover voltage stability is a key factor for the stable operation of grid connected wind farm during fault ride through and grid disturbances. This paper investigates the implementation and comparison of FACTS devices like STATCOM and SV...
