The dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is one of the modern devices used in transmission systems to protect power flow against sudden changes in voltage amplitude. The proposed algorithm is applied to some disturbances in load voltage caused by induction motors starting, and a three-phase short circuit fault. Also, the capability of the proposed DVR has been tested to limit the downstream fault cur...

Currently, power systems are involuntarily controlled without high speed control and are frequently initiated, therefore resulting in a slow process when compared with static electronic devices. Among various power interruptions in power supply systems, voltage dips play a central role in causing disruption. The dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is a process based on voltage control that compensat...

A dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is developed to stabilize the three-phase load under sudden grid distortion conditions, including sag, swell and unbalance. The DVR composed of a DC\AC inverter DC-link capacitor regarded as energy storage element. When occurs, instant power compensate or absorb realized by resulted in degenerate stabilization performance poor transient quality load. Hence, cont...

This paper introduces the terminology and various issues related to ‘power quality’. The power quality problem is an occurrence manifested as a nonstandard voltage, current or frequency deviations that result in a failure of end use equipment’s. The main occurrence of voltage sag is always considered as one of the major power quality problems and it become severe to industrial customers. Voltag...

For the optimal size and placement of the dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) in a distribution network, in this paper the Simulated Annealing (SA) method is proposed. The multi-objective problem is converted to a single function using the goal attainment method. The obtained results show the voltage sag improvement on sensitive load nodes and other nodes in distribution system with minimum cost.
