Abstract: - This project presents voltage sag/swell mitigation device in electric power distribution networks. Voltage sag/swell is one of the most important power quality problems challenging the utility industry. Voltage sag/swell can be compensated for voltage and power injection into distribution system. The DVR is the excellent device for dynamic responses. A new topology based on Z-source inverter is presented in order to enhance the voltage restoration property of DVR. The derived controllers are based on a suitable stabilizing damping injection scheme. The modeling of Z- source based DVR is carried out component wise and their performances are analyzed using MATLAB software. The simulation shows that the control technique is very effective and yields excellent compensation for voltage sag/swell mitigation.

INTRODUCTION

Modern power systems are complex networks, where hundreds of generating stations and thousands of load centers are interconnected through long power transmission and distribution networks.. However, in practice. As a result, the purity of waveform of supply lost. This ends up producing many power quality problems.. The consequence of power quality problems could range from a simple nuisance flicker in electric lamps to a loss of thousands of rupees due to power shutdown.. Power quality problems associated with an extensive number of electromagnetic phenomena in power systems with broad ranges of time frames such as long duration variations, short duration variations and other disturbances. To compensate the sag/swell in a system, appropriate devices need to be installed at suitable locations has recently been proposed as an alternative power conversion concept as they have both voltage buck and boost capabilities. The Zsource converter employs a unique X-shaped impedance network on its dc side for achieving both voltage buck and boost capabilities this unique features that cannot be obtained in the traditional voltage-source and current-source converters. In this paper the modeling and control of voltage sag/swell compensation using Z-Source inverter based dynamic voltage restorer are simulated using MATLAB software. The simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed control method

DYNAMIC VOLTAGE RESTORER

The DVR employs IGBT solid-state power-electronic switching devices in a pulse-width modulated (PWM) inverter structure and is capable of generating or absorbing independently controllable real and reactive power at its ac output terminal. Its dc input terminal is connected to an energy source or an energy storage device of appropriate capacity. The DVR is a solid-state dc to ac switching power converter that injects a set of three-phase ac output v in series and synchronism with the distribution voltages. the DVR is partial power to the load a rechargeable energy e attached to the DVR dc terminal. During normal line transmission system. For large variations (sags) in the voltages are variable thereby allowing control of the voltage conditions following the sag the energy storage reactive power exchange between the DVR and the device is recharged from the ac system by the DVR.

Z-SOURCE INVERTER

Z-source inverter has X-shaped impedance network on its DC side, which interfaces the source and inverter H-bridge.. The impedance network composed of split inductors and two capacitors. The supply can be DC voltage source or DC current source or AC source. Z-source inverter can be of current source type or voltage source type. Fig. 3 shows the general block diagram of Z-Source inverter.

Fig:3 Block diagram of Z-Source inverter Z-Source inverter operation is controlled by multiple pulse width modulation. The output of the ZSource inverter is controlled by using pulse width modulation, generated by comparing a triangular wave signal with an adjustable DC and hence the duty cycle of the switching pulse could be varied to synthesize the required conversion. A stream of pulse width modulation is produced to control the switch as shown in fig.4. As shown in Table I, the single-phase Z-Source inverter As shown in Table I, the single-phase Z-Source inverter.

When source voltage is applied to load, two zero modes in which the inverter s output terminals are short circuited by S1 and S3 or S2 and S4 switches and a shoot-through mode which occurs as two switches on single leg are turned on.

Applying a distinctive PWM method is necessary for ZSI considering the defined operational modes. In a symmetrical impedance network, the following equations are valid.

VOLTAGE SAG COMPENSATION IN DVR SYSTEM

In order to meet the requirement of constant voltage control, closed loop operation is performed for the desired value of the voltage according to the need. The Simulink model of closed loop control of voltage sag compensation in a DVR system is shown in the Fig. 7. Initially the system was subjected to 25% voltage sag at t=300ms and remains up to t=700ms with the total voltage sag duration of 400ms, in a run of 1000ms.

The AC output voltage is rectified to DC supply and then a reference voltage is given for the error. This error is sent to the PI controller. The saturator value is given as pulses for controlling the Z- Source inverter.

CONCLUSION

In this paper voltage sag/swell compensation using Z-Source inverter based Dynamic Voltage Restorer is considered. The control technique is designed using in-phase compensation and used a closed loop control system to detect the magnitude error between voltage during pre-sag and sag periods. The modeling and simulation of closed loop contorl of voltage sag/swell mitigation were carried out using MATLAB software. The simulation results show that the developed control technique with proposed single phase DVR is simple and efficient. From the Simulation results it was observed that dynamic voltage restorer compensates 25% of voltage sag and 30% of voltage swell. Choi S. S, Li B. H, and Vilathgamuwa D.
