Any variation in voltage, current and frequency quantities, which causes damages or inaccurate
performance of using equipments, is recognized as disturbance power quality. One of the Phenomenon of
power quality voltage flash is, the decreas of voltage magnitude with short period (0.5 cycle to one minute),
the reason is the short circuit in network or installation of high capacity motors (Generator) which many
problems for electricty manufactuer. The main reason of attention to power quality is economical subjects.
Various actions can be used by manufactuer, customers and equipments produces to decrease the quantity
and severity voltage sags and reducing the sensitivity of equipments during voltage sags, the preventing in
lowest level near to load is the cheapest way for restoring. One of the solutions to improve the power
quality is using of FACTS-Devices in distribution system. Dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is one of the
device which is connect series to network and near to Customer by feeding three-phas AC controlled

Dynamic Voltage Restorer is a series connected device that injects voltage into the system in order
to regulate the load side voltage. The DVR was first installed in 1996. It is normally installed in a distribution
system between the supply and the critical load feeder. Its primary function is to rapidly boost up the loadside voltage in the event of a disturbance in order to avoid any power disruption to that load there are various
circuit topologies and control schemes that can be used to implement a DVR. In addition to its main task
which is voltage sags and swells compensation, DVR can also added other features such as: voltage
harmonics compensation, voltage transients Reduction and fault current limitations The general
configuration of the DVR consists of a voltage injection transformer, an output filter, an energy storage
device, Voltage Source Inverter (VSI), and a Control system as shown in Figure 2.[3],[4],[5].

Voltage Injection Transformer: The basic function of this transformer is to connect the DVR to
the distribution network via the HV-windings and couples the injected compensating voltages
generated by the voltage source converters to the incoming supply voltage. The design of this
transformer is very crucial because, it faces saturation, overrating, overheating, cost and
performance. The injected voltage may consist of fundamental, desired harmonics, Switching
harmonics and dc voltage components. If the transformer is not designed properly, the injected
voltage May saturate the transformer and result in improper operation of the DVR [3], [6].
Output Filter: The main task of the output filter is to keep the harmonic voltage content generated
by the voltage source inverter to the permissible level (i.e. eliminate high frequency switching
harmonics).It has a small rating approximately 2% of the load VA [3], [6].
Voltage Source Inverter: A VSI is a power electronic system consists of a storage device and
switching devices, which can generate a sinusoidal voltage at any required frequency, Magnitude,
and phase angle. In the DVR application, the VSI is used to temporarily replace the supply voltage
or to generate the part of the supply voltage which is missing [3], 6].
DC Energy Storage Device: The DC energy storage device provides the real power requirement of
the DVR during compensation. Various storage technologies have been proposed including
flywheel Energy storage, super-conducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) and Super capacitors
these have the advantage of fast response. An alternative is the use of lead-acid battery, Batteries
were until now considered of limited suitability for DVR applications since it takes considerable
time to remove energy from them. Finally, conventional capacitors also can be used [3], [6].
Control system: The aim of the control system is to maintain constant voltage magnitude at the
point where a sensitive load is connected, under system disturbances [3], [6].

Note that the frequency of the utility grid can be obtained by a phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit.

Then the order voltage convert to abc form to produce requiered pulse for inverter gate by sinusoidal
pulse wide modelation. The analisys of wave shape is shown that signals of is valued from calculation in
addition the sag or swell problem can by specified by these signals so:
= V
(5)
Where is the magnitude of the vector that represents the instantaneous deviation of utility input
voltages respect to the given reference[7].
Usually the dq value must be equal to refrence value. If this condition happens the value of is
zero. Other wise is a DC signal can be change with tribulation[7]. If three-phase disturbance happens
is absolute DC voltage. In two-phase disturbance is dc voltage with low ripple and in singlephase is swinger DC signal between zero and max value. when voltage sag happens the positive
sequence component of grid voltage decreases and the magnitude of positive sequence component
calculated as below:
= V
+ V
(6)
So , V compare with Vth. The compensation inverter will be started if the positive sequence
magnitude V dropped below a preset threshold level Vth . The threshold level is determined by the voltage
magnitude at normal condition and a threshold constant k:
V = KV
+ V
(7)
k can be set between 0.0 to 1.0 depending how sensitive the critical loads are to voltage sags.
By monitoring the magnitude of the positive sequence component, voltage sags can be promptly and clearly
identified[7].
5. SIMULATION
5.1. Three-Phase
To check the DVR effects the system has been simulated as figure 5 by MATLAB/
SIMULINK software. In this circuit, a Three-phase fault in Bus B1 occure in 0.15 second which causes
%75 voltage sag during 0.2 second And restores in 0.35 second by safely devices. also Figure 5,
Circuit for detecting and compensating swell with little change we can instead of Three-Phase Fault block,
using Three-Phase Programmable Voltage source block.
By this block, a 20% increase in the voltage range in the period 0.15-0.35 seconds to get there.
Change in the polarity of transformers, circuit of Figure 5 is able to compensate the voltage is increased.
Parameters and circuit elements is similar to the circuit in Figure 5 and is only dc voltage applied to the
inverter 1KV. This circuit restores the voltage of sensitive loads in Bus B2 with feeding suitable
voltage by inverter system during fault. The total time of simulation is 0.5 second .As mentioned
before, the first step in all methods to restore voltage sag, is the fast detection of disturbance. It is
the duty of the block SAG DETECTOR. The sag detector block receive the three-phase voltage of Bus
B1,B3 as input the during voltage sag calculated the controller signal for PWM function, the system
model and control cicuit is shown in figure 5,6.
This circuit contain, three-phase inverter and each power switches has one IGBT and reverseparaller diod to transit current in two side of switch.
5.2. Single-Phase
In Figure 7, the model of circuit for single-phase voltage detection and compensation sag are
depicted. As can be seen for compensation single-phase disturbance, three single-phase inverter bridge
instead of a three-phase inverter is used. also three single-phase breaker for connection inverter output to
transformer has been used since the time of the single-phase voltage sag should be closed single-phase
Breaker faulty, and two healthy phases breakers remain open. Also for detecting the disturbance occurrence
time, conversion dqo unused. This converts when, the voltage and current disturbance that are balanced cause
simplifies the control system and reduce the detection time, because at balance disturbance, the output of this
converts is DC, but in the single-phase disturbance, conversion of dq does not show variation of values
moment DC. So the output of this convert has a ripple component 100 HZ which has twice the frequency of
the voltage source. Thus to achieve the DC values, needed low-pass filter or filter slot 100HZ. But these
filters causing delays in voltage detection and eventually time detection will increase. Thus in detection of
unbalanced disturbance, other detection methods such as average, RMS or peak is used[9]. In the circuit of

Figure 7, Difference per-unit values method have been used. Block inverter system is shown in Figure 8. In
this circuit, a single-phase fault in Bus1 occure in 0.15 second which causes %75 voltage sag during
0.2 second And restores in 0.35 second by safely devices. also Figure 7, Circuit for detecting and
compensating swell with little change. By this block, a 20% increase in the voltage range in the period 0.150.35 seconds to get there. Change in the polarity of transformers, circuit of Figure7 is able to compensate the
voltage is increased. The total time of simulation is 0.5 second.

6.2. Single-Phase
In this circuit, three-phase voltages at bus B3 as reference voltages to be monitored is shown in
Figure 15. Three-phase voltages bus B1 are also recorded as a voltage fault (Figure 16), in this figure clearly
be seen that a phase voltage has dropped sharply. Then difference between two voltage as the voltagecontrolled PWM is given to the block inverter system that seen in Figure 17, this difference is zero for the
two healthy phases. As Was observed in Figure 7, in inverter system block, the input convert to the RMS
and then applied to the switch and produce a (0-1)zero signal, Multiplied by the output of the PWM block
and injected into single-phase inverter full-bridge gate. Figure 18, show that the effective voltage switch
input and output signal for the depressed phase. The requirement to switch output 1, input is equal or higher
than 0.1 switch has out put to prevent detection of lower 10% voltage sag. Which can be seen in Figure 18
(b) a delay Breaker result is the same condition. when PWM1 effective voltage is more than 0.1, connected
Breaker command is given, Effective voltage switch input and output signals for healthy phases are zero.
Figure 19 show that injection pulses to the inverter gate for faulty phase.

At Healthy phases, because PWM input and output switch is zero, input of the inverter gate will be
zero, Therefore inverter output is also zero. Because only the faulty phase inverter output to be injected in to
the network, in Circuit is used in three Breaker, its order of the zero or one signal a switch to receive, Thus
two-phase Breaker healthy, remain open and only the faulty phase Breaker is closed, and Voltage after
passing through the filter, is injected by the transformer to the network. Each output of the inverter is shown
in Figure 20. The end result of compensation single-phase voltage sag is shown in Figure 25.
Regardless of the transient moments of beginning and end of depression, some ripple can be seen
that, after reaching steady conditions, the circuit has been well compensated for depression. Figure 26 show
the effective voltage before and after compensation. Finally in figure 27,28 you can see the final result of
restoring, which approred simulated circuit to restore single-phases voltage swell.

Using Series compensator near the critical loads is effective methods to compensate the voltage sags
mentioned. In this paper, we were able to analysis the functions of restorer and reached to expected results
by modeling various circuits with three-phase and single-phase voltage sag.also we can show that with little
changes in this circuit this methods can be used in voltage swell as well. In simulation circuit to restor

voltage sag we used changing of abc to dq0,because this change in balance disturbances can make controller
easier and decrease the time of disturbance detection, because in balance disturbances the output is absolute
DC. But in unbalance disturbances such as single-phase voltage sag because of using additional filters for
omitting harmonics of change, the detection time increases, so this method doesnot recommended.therefore
in designed circuit to restore single-phase voltage sag,the comparison perunit values is used. results of
simulation approres the correct function and expected results in steady-state condition. But in the beginning
and end of the transient moments of disturbance, (roughly the size of a cycle) results are not acceptable and
will feel the need to further evaluate the circuit.

CONCLUSION
Detection of voltage sag in network,is the first process for improvement of the power quality. power
quality problems contains wide spread range of voltage disturbance, because of various factors in this
matter such as magnitude ,frequency, balance,.. detection and restoring is dificault.this variety makes
impossible of using for uniqe algorithm. Series restorer which used in transmission and distribution systems
is one of the functional method to improvement power quality problems,it is more economical when restorers
are near to end user. Using DVR is one of the effective and economical methods for detecting and restoring
of voltage sag and can restorer 90% voltage disturbances such as sag,swell and extra voltage,harmonic
restorer voltage and asymmetrical voltage balancing systems,also has advantages as fast response,low losses
conductivity and low switching. Then fast detection algorithm based on SRF has been introduced to detect
three-phase voltage sag and swell.
This algorithm decrease the detection time by transfering abc to dq0 voltage in balance disturbances.
The simulation algorithm for three-phase voltage depressions and protrusions were evaluated. All figures
showing simulated fast response and full compensation disturbance after crossing the start and end times
transient. But in transient moments, the little ripple in the output voltage, can cause trouble for very sensitive
equipment that must be considered in future research. In addition, for single-phase compensation the the
circuit troughs were presented, in which instead of using the proposed algorithm, compared to values of PU
and reference voltages measured at the time of the disturbance took place. For the circuit simulation results
also showing that the compensation capability of unbalanced voltage disturbance was effective.
