transformer (Tr) to inject voltage in series with the supply

capacitor (Cdc) is used as a DVR. The ripple in the injected
voltage is filtered using a series inductor (Lr) and a parallel Vcd VL

voltage (Fig. 9). Fig. 6 shows a balanced sag of 30% in supply

DVR injects fundamental voltage (vc) in series with the supply
voltage (vs). The load terminal voltage (vL) is regulated at the
rated value. The supply current (is), amplitude of supply
voltage (VSp) the amplitude of load terminal voltage (VLp) and
the dc bus voltage (vdc) are also shown in the Fig. 6.
The dynamic performance of the DVR for a swell in
supply voltage is given in Fig.7. The load voltage (vL) is
regulated at rated value, which shows the satisfactory
performance of the DVR. The supply current (is), the
amplitude of load terminal voltage (VLp), the amplitude of
supply voltage (VSp) and the dc bus voltage (vdc) are also
shown in the Fig. 7. The dc bus voltage is regulated at the
reference value, though small fluctuation occur during
transients.
The performance of DVR for an unbalance in supply
voltage is shown in Fig. 8. The phase voltages at the PCC are
different in magnitude at 0.2s as given in the voltage at PCC
(vs) of Fig. 8. Now the DVR injects unequal fundamental
voltages (vc) so that the load terminal voltage (vL) is regulated
to constant magnitude. The supply current (is), the amplitude
of load terminal voltage (VLp), the amplitude of supply voltage
(VSp) and the dc bus voltage (vdc) are also shown in the Fig. 8
to demonstrate the satisfactory behavior of DVR.
The harmonics compensation in supply voltage is tested
and depicted in Fig. 9. The voltage at PCC is disturbed by
switching on of a non-linear load and the load terminal Fig. 9 Compensation of supply voltage harmonics using DVR

VI. CONCLUSION
The proposed control scheme of DVR has been validated
through computer simulation using MATLAB software along
with simulink and power system block set toolboxes. The
reference voltages for the DVR has been obtained indirectly
by extracting the reference load terminal voltage. The
performance of the DVR has been observed to be satisfactory
for various power quality disturbances like sag, swell,
unbalance and harmonics in supply voltage. Moreover, it is
able to provide self-supported dc bus of the DVR through
power transfer from ac line at fundamental frequency. Fig. 12 Supply current along with harmonic spectrum
