Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is a custom power device used in electrical distribution system for power quality improvement. The main application of DVR is for voltage compensation of sensitive loads against voltage disturbances such as voltage sag and voltage swell in distribution lines. It is a series connected device and is able to compensate voltage sag and voltage swell by injecting a vol...

The behavior of three phase five leg transformer under voltage sag is studied in this paper. This paper proposes a simple, practical model of a three phase-five leg, saturated transformer with accurate performance. Transformer saturation is produced when the voltage sag is recovered and it causes inrush current in transformer. Effects of voltage sag depth, duration and initial point on wave hav...

This paper presents an algorithm to detect and classify voltage sag causes based on Wavelet Transform (WT) and Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN). A technique is required which is capable of extracting both time-frequency information to identify the causes which contribute to power quality disturbances. Wavelet transform based on multiresolution analysis is used to extract the features from the...

Original scientific paper This paper focuses on the advancement of electric power quality tendencies of an induction motor as well as alleviating the consequence on account of the prolonged duration voltage discrepancy and also quite a short time period voltage variance of these kinds of that over voltage, under voltage continuous interruption, impermanent voltage fall together with voltage cli...

Total complaints related to voltage sags are about 80 % of all the complaints due to power quality transients. AC Contactors are designed to disconnect the load or circuit they control when the main power supply is intentionally interrupted. The sensitivity of AC coil contactors to the applied voltage is thus a potentially weak link in industrial processes. This paper shows the test results obt...

Voltage Sag is one of the Power Quality problem and it become severe to industrial customers. Voltage sag causes miss operation to several sensitive equipments. This problem can be mitigating with the Dynamic Voltage Restorer. DVR is a solid state device which is connected in series between the source and load voltages. In this Dynamic Voltage Restorer is implemented using Capacitor Clamped Mul...

This paper proposes a fuzzy logic based new control scheme for the Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) for minimizing the voltage sag and total harmonic distortion in the distribution system consequently to improve the power quality. UPQC is a recent power electronic module which guarantees better power quality mitigation as it has both series-active and shunt-active power filters (APFs). ...
