Study on Energy-saving Strategies for Dynamic Voltage Restorer

Traditional voltage injection methods for DVR are in-phase strategy which injects voltage in phase with the sag voltage and missing voltage technique which compensates for the difference between the sag and pre-sag voltages. Since a certain component of injected voltage is in-phase with the load current, DVR has to provide some amount of energy to the grid. This paper use DQ analyzing method based on instantaneous reactive power theories to detect and obtain the parameters of source side voltage for balanced faults of three-phase three-wire system. Through circumgyrating the phasor and injecting voltage with an appropriate advance phase relative to source side voltage, the minimum energy injection can be achieved. For unbalanced faults, fictitious three-phase voltages which come from a single- phase source can be constructed mathematically, so unbalanced faults can be dealt with easily in a balanced way. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.
