I. INTRODUCTION
Power Quality problems in the present-day distribution systems are addressed in the literature [1]–[6]
due to the increased use of sensitive and critical equipment pieces such as communication network, process
industries, and precise manufacturing processes. Power quality problems such as transients, sags, swells, and
other distortions to the sinusoidal waveform of the supply voltage affect the performance of these equipment
pieces. Technologies such as custom power devices are emerged to provide protection against power quality
problems [2]. Custom power devices are mainly of three categories such as series-connected compensators
known as dynamic voltage restorers (DVRs), shunt-connected compensators such as distribution static
compensators, and a combination of seriesand shunt-connected compensators known as unified power quality
conditioner [2]–[6]. The DVR can regulate the load. voltage from the problems such as sag, swell, and
harmonics in the supply voltages. Hence, it can protect the critical consumer loads from tripping and consequent
losses [2]. The custom power devices are developed and installed at consumer point to meet the power quality
standards such as IEEE-519 [7].Voltage sags in an electrical grid are not always possible to avoid because of the
finite clearing time of the faults that cause the voltage sags and the propagation of sags from the
transmission and distribution systems to the low-voltage loads. Voltage sags are the common reasons for
interruption in production plants and for end-user equipment malfunctions in general. In particular, tripping of
equipment in a production line can cause production interruption and significant costs due to loss of production.
One solution to this problem is to make the equipment itself more tolerant to sags, either by intelligent control or
by storing “ride-through” energy in the equipment. An alternative solution, instead of modifying each
component in a plant to be tolerant against voltage sags, is to install a plantwide uninterruptible power supply
system for longer power interruptions or a DVR on the incoming supply to mitigate voltage sags for shorter
periods [8]–[23]. DVRs can eliminate most of the sags and minimize the risk of load tripping for very deep sags,
but their main drawbacks are their standby losses, the equipment cost, and also the protection scheme required
for downstream short circuits.
Many solutions and their problems using DVRs are reported, such as the voltages in a three-phase
system are balanced [8] and an energy-optimized control of DVR is discussed in [10]. Industrial examples of
DVRs are given in [11], and different control methods are analyzed for different types of voltage sags in [12]–
[18]. A comparison of different topologies and control methods is presented for a DVR in [19]. The design
of a capacitor-supported DVR that protects sag, swell, distortion, or unbalance in the supply voltages is
discussed in [17]. The performance of a DVR with the high-frequency-link transformer is discussed in [24]. In
this paper, the control and performance of a DVR are demonstrated with a reduced-rating voltage source
converter (VSC). The synchronous reference frame (SRF) theory is used for the control of the DVR.

II. OPERATION OF DVR

The schematic of a DVR-associated framework is appeared inFig. 1(a). The voltage Vinj is embedded
with the end goal that the heap voltage V load is steady in size and is undistorted, in spite of the fact that the
supply voltage Vs is not steady in size or is misshaped.Fig. 1(b) demonstrates the phasor graph of various
voltage infusion plans of the DVR. VL(pre−sag) is a voltage over the basic load before the voltage hang
condition. Amid the voltage list, the voltage is lessened to Vs with a stage slack edge of θ. Presently, the DVR
infuses a voltage with the end goal that the heap voltage greatness is kept up at the pre-list condition. As
indicated bythe stage point of the heap voltage, the infusion of voltages can be acknowledged in four ways [19].
Vinj1 speaks to the voltage injected in-stage with the supply voltage. With the infusion of Vinj2, the heap
voltage greatness stays same however it leads Versus by a little point. In Vinj3, the heap voltage holds the same
stage as that of the pre-list condition, which might be an ideal point considering the vitality source [10]. Vinj4
is the condition where the infused voltage is in quadrature with the current, and this case is reasonable for a
capacitor-bolstered DVR as this infusion includes no dynamic power [17]. Be that as it may,a base conceivable
rating of the converter is accomplished by Vinj1.The DVR is worked in this plan with a battery vitality capacity
framework (BESS).

III. CONTROL OF DVR

The remuneration for voltage droops utilizing a DVR can be performed by infusing or engrossing the
responsive power or the genuine power [17].When the infused voltage is in quadrature with the current at the
key recurrence, the pay is made by infusing receptive power and the DVR is with a self-upheld dc transport. Be
that as it may, if the infused voltage is inphase with the current, DVR infuses genuine power, and henceforth,a
battery is required at the dc transport of the VSC. The control method embraced ought to consider the
constraints, for example, the voltage infusion ability (converter and transformer rating) also, advancement of the
extent of vitality stockpiling.

V. CONCLUSION
The operation of a DVR has been exhibited with another control procedure utilizing different voltage
infusion plans. A correlation of the execution of the DVR with various plans has been performed with a
decreased rating VSC, including a capacitor-upheld DVR. The reference stack voltage has been evaluated
utilizing the technique for unit vectors, and the control of DVR has been accomplished, which limits the blunder
of voltage infusion. The SRF hypothesis has been utilized for evaluating the reference DVR voltages. It is
inferred that the voltage infusion in-stage with the PCC voltage brings about least evaluating of DVR yet at the
cost of a vitality source at its dc bus
