Analysis and Mathematical Model for Restitution of Voltage Using Dynamic Voltage Restorer

Abstract EN

Voltage sag and swell have a major concern in the distribution systems.

In order to mitigate the voltage sag and swell, a custom power device called dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is used.

The proposed system is a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell based DVR.

The energy from the fuel cell is stored in the super capacitor to restitute the voltage.

In this proposed DVR, Z-source inverter is used instead of traditional inverter because of buck-boost and shoot through capability.

The simulation is performed using three controller topologies: PI controller, synchronous reference frame controller and fuzzy controller and the results are verified using Matlab-Simulink environment.
