CHAPTER 3
DYNAMIC VOLTAGE RESTORER
3.1
GENERAL
The DVR injects voltage in series with the line to compensate the
voltage sag. In this chapter, a single phase DVR with an H bridge inverter, a
single phase DVR with ZSI and three phase DVR systems are modeled using
MATLAB simulink.
3.2
MODEL OF SINGLE PHASE DVR SYSTEM

The simulink models of closed loop controlled DVR systems with
an H bridge inverter and Z source inverter are developed and the simulation
results are presented.
3.2.1
Model of the Closed Loop Controlled DVR System with an H

Bridge Inverter
The simulink model of the closed loop controlled DVR with an H
bridge inverter using a PI controller in a simple power system to protect a

sensitive load in a large distribution system, is shown in Figure 3.1. The block
diagram of the control system is shown in Figure 3.2. A Proportional Integral
(PI) controller is a feedback controller, which drives the plant to be controlled
with a weighted sum of the error (difference between the output and desired
set point), and the integral of that value. The integral term in a PI controller
causes the steady-state error to be zero for a triangular input.

Figure 3.1 Closed loop controlled DVR with an H bridge inverter

The inverter is a four-pulse switch controlled bridge. The currents
follow different directions at outputs depending on the control scheme,
eventually supplying AC output power to the critical load during power
disturbances. The control of this bridge lies in the control of the switch firing
angles. The time to open and close the gates will be determined by the control
system. To model a DVR protecting a sensitive load against voltage sag /
swell, a simple method of using the measurement of a single phase RMS
output voltage for controlling signals can be applied. The amplitude
modulation is then used. In addition to providing appropriate firing angles to
switches, a switching control using SPWM technique is employed.

The subsystem2 of the closed loop DVR is shown in Figure 3.4. It
consists of a full bridge inverter with a filter. Subsystem1 consists of a
rectifier with a capacitor filter, as shown in Figure 3.3. The output of the load
voltage is rectified using a rectifier circuit. The rectifier output voltage is
compared with the reference voltage. To correct the error between a measured
process variable and a desired set point, the PI controller is used. To decrease
the error signal, it is compared with a triangular signal to produce sine PWM
pulses. The Pulse Width Modulation technique is used to control the H bridge
inverter. Varying the width of the pulses controls the output voltage. The
SPWM control technique is used to reduce the harmonic content at the output
voltage.

Figure 3.7 shows the response of the closed loop DVR system to
the voltage swell. The system was subjected to a swell of 29.2 % magnitude
and 0.4s duration. Simulation is done and the transient performance at the
swell front and recovery was observed. The first graph shows the swell in
voltage. The second graph indicates the injected voltage and the third graph
shows the compensated load voltage after voltage injection. From Figure 3.7,
it is seen that the DVR has successfully compensated the swell. Figure 3.8
shows the FFT analysis of the closed loop DVR system for swell condition.
The THD value is found to be 0.12 %. From reference Paisan Boonchiam and
Nadarajah Mithulanathan (2006), voltage sag is defined as a sudden increase
of supply voltage down 90 % to 10 % in RMS voltage at the fundamental
frequency with duration from 10 ms to 1 min and voltage swell is defined as a
sudden increase of supply voltage up 110 % to 180 % in RMS voltage at the
fundamental frequency with duration from 10 ms to 1 min. This simulation
results for sag and swell are in close agreement with the results of Chellai et
al (2008) and Paisan Boonchiam (2006).

The dqo transformation or Parks transformation is used to control
the DVR. The detection is carried out in each of the three phases. The control
scheme for the proposed system is based on the comparison of a voltage
reference and the measured terminal voltage (Va, Vb, Vc). Simulation results
are obtained with a 10kVA, 240V system to allow the evaluation of the
proposed methodologies. Table 3.1 shows the parameters used for simulation
studies. The parameters are selected from the reference Rosli Omar and

Model of the Three Phase DVR System with the Sinusoidal

PWM Technique
Figure 3.18 shows the closed loop controlled three phase DVR with
the Sinusoidal PWM (SPWM) technique using the dqo algorithm. Once a
voltage sag is detected, the error between the measured and reference values
is converted from the dq-frame to the abc-frame. This is used to trigger the
inverter switches and the required voltage is fed to the injection transformer
from the inverter. The transformer is connected in series with the main line.

Model of the Three Phase DVR System with the Space Vector
Modulation Technique
The proposed DVR circuit with the Space Vector PWM is shown in
Figure 3.25. Here, the error voltage in the dq-frame is used to calculate the
resultant reference voltage and angle
framework. Angle
of the space vector eight sector
is used to obtain the useful sectors, which are utilized to
calculate the switching pulses. At any instant, the combination of the

upper/lower switch signals will give an M wave, which is compared with a
ramp signal to give gate pulses to the switches in the converter.

any given time.
The switching pulse generator for the Space Vector PWM is shown
in Figure 3.27. The switching times thus obtained from the switching pulse
calculator are used to generate the switching pulses for the upper/lower three
switches. The pulse time for the switches in each sector is calculated from

The total harmonic distortion (THD) of a signal is a measurement

of the harmonic distortion present, and is defined as the ratio of the sum of the
powers of all harmonic components to the power of the fundamental
frequency. A common use of the Fourier transform is to find the frequency
components of a signal buried in a noisy time domain signal. It is difficult to
identify the frequency components by looking at the original signal.
Converting to the frequency domain, the discrete Fourier transform of the
noisy signal is found by taking the fast Fourier transform (FFT). Figure 3.36
shows the FFT analysis of the SPWM model. The total harmonic distortion of
the SPWM model is 7.07%. Figure.3.37 shows the FFT analysis of the
SVPWM model. The THD of the SVPWM systsem is found to be 6.54%.

HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DVR

Experimental set up was realized using digital signal processor by
bingsen Wang etal (2006). In the present work, a laboratory model of

embedded controlled ZSI based DVR is implemented. An inverter using
MOSFET as the switching device with X shaped impedance is used as a Z
source, which forms the heart of the DVR. The DC input to the inverter is
provided using a rectifier. The rectifier is provided with a 12V DC supply. A
capacitor is connected at the output to reduce the ripple. The MOSFET
switches of the inverter are driven by a driver circuit which consists of a
programmed microcontroller, a buffer, an optocoupler and a 12 V supply. The
microcontroller is programmed to drive the MOSFETs at pre-determined
intervals. The outputs of the microcontroller are applied to the gate terminals
of the MOSFETs through a buffer.

3.4.1.1
Microcontroller Circuit
The gating pulses for the Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect
Transistors (MOSFET) are generated by the AT89C2051 microcontroller. It

has a central processing unit in addition to a fixed amount of on-chip read
access memory, read only memory and a number of input/ output ports that
makes it ideal for many applications in which cost and space are critical. It is
a microcontroller with 128 bytes of read access memory, 2K bytes of on-chip
read only memory, 15 input / output lines, two 16- bit timers/counters, a full
duplex serial port, an on-chip oscillator and a clock circuitry. It is a powerful
controller which provides a highly flexible and cost-effective solution to
many embedded control applications.
3.4.1.2
Driver circuit
Figure 3.38(a) shows the driver circuit diagram. The 6N136 IC is
used as the driver for the MOSFET switches. The opto-coupler 6N136 IC
consists of a photo diode connected between the pins 2 and 3 internally. The
output from the pulse generator circuit is given to the pin 3 through a BJT.
The pin 2 is connected to the DC supply of 5V through the pull-up resistance
of 100 . The photo diode emits light according to the input given in the pin 3.
The light is detected by the photo transistor which acts as a photo detector.
The resistors connected to the output side of the IC are used to bias the
transistor. At pin 6 the output wave from is obtained with the optical isolation.
83
The output of the buffer is then given to amplifier circuits which controls the
turn ON and turn OFF time of the MOSFET. Thus the output of the MOSFET
driver circuit is exactly same as its input with optical isolation. The pulse
generated by the microcontroller is given to the driver circuit. The amplified
pulses from the driver circuit are given to the MOSFET switches. Z-source
inverter gives the boosted output voltage.

Experimental Verification
A VSI system using MOSFET as the switching device is used as a
voltage source, which forms the heart of the DVR. The hardware
implemented circuit for ZSI based DVR is shown in Figure 3.39. The
MOSFET switches of the inverter are driven by a driver circuit which consists
of a programmed microcontroller, a buffer, an optocoupler and a 12 V supply.
The gating pulses for the MOSFETs are generated by the AT89C2051
microcontroller. The pulse generated by the microcontroller is amplified using
the pulse amplifier 6N136 IC. The microcontroller is programmed to drive the
MOSFETs at pre-determined intervals.
The output pulses of the
microcontroller are applied to the gate terminals of the MOSFETs through a

buffer. The top view of the hardware circuit is shown in Figure 3.40.

CONCLUSION
In this chapter, the performance of a DVR in mitigating voltage
sag/ swell is demonstrated with the help of MATLAB. The modelling and
simulation results of a single phase DVR with an H bridge inverter and Z
source inverter are presented. The Z source inverter is a viable alternative to
the conventional inverters, since it can boost the input voltage and control the
short circuit current.
The modelling and simulation results of the three phase DVR using
sine PWM and space vector PWM techniques are presented. The simulation
results validate that the implemented control strategy compensates the voltage
sags with high accuracy. Heating is reduced due to the reduction of harmonics
in the output. The cost of the system is reduced since the ATMEL controller
89C2051 is cheaper. The volume of the converter is reduced since the ports
and timer are embedded in the micro controller chip. A laboratory model of
the ZSI based DVR system using multiple PWM and SPWM technique is
implemented and the experimental results are presented. The experimental
results are similar with the simulation results. The simulation and
implementation are done by considering single phase circuit modelling. This
work has assumed a balanced load at the receiving end.
