Power Quality Improvement In Distribution Network By Using Dynamic Voltage Restorer - A Review
Abstract
Power quality is a big deal nowadays in power sector. There are different power quality problems such as hamonic
distortion, notching, flicker e.t.c. Voltage sag and swell is one of the problems in distribution network. The problem of Voltage
sag and swell is most important. To reduce these problems many custom power devices are uesd. One of those devices is the
Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), which is one of the most efficient and effective modern custom power devices used in
power distribution networks. Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is a series connected power electronic based device that can
quickly mitigate the voltage sags in the system and restore the load voltage to the pre-fault value. DVR is recognized to be the
best effective solution to overcome this problem. This paper discusses a review of the researches on the Dynamic voltage
restorer (DVR) for power quality improvement in distribution networks. This paper describes principle of operation of DVR,
components, DVRs topologies system in distribution system, DVR control strategies, and compensation techniques.
