INTRODUCTION
To maintain power quality is the basic
requirement to satisfy the end consumers.
DVR and D-STATCOM are used to maintain power
quality in power system.
A DVR injects a voltage in series with the system
voltage and a D-STATCOM injects a current into
the system to correct the voltage sag, swell and
interruption.
These are used in case of sensitive loads in
between the supply & sensitive load feeder.
POWER QUALITY PROBLEMS
Power quality is defined as the concept
of powering and grounding sensitive
equipment in a matter that is suitable
to the operation of that equipment.
Power Quality problem is an
occurrence of a nonstandard voltage ,
current or frequency, that results in
failure of end use equipments. To solve
this DVR and D-STATCOM are used.
CONTD..
CAUSES OF DIPS, SAGS AND SURGES-
1. Rural location remote from power source
2. Unbalanced load on a three phase system
3. Switching of heavy loads
4. Long distance from a distribution transformer with
interposed loads
5. Unreliable grid systems
CAUSES OF TRANSIENTS AND SPIKES-
1. Lightening
2. Arc welding
3.Switching on heavy or reactive equipments such as
motors, transformers, motor drives
DYNAMIC VOLTAGE RESTORER
DVR consists of-
1. An Injection/ Booster transformer
2. A Harmonic filter
3. Storage Devices
4. A Voltage Source Converter(VSC)
5. Dc charging circuit
6. A Control and Protection system
The DVR has three modes of operation
which are-
Protection mode, Standby mode,
Injection/boost mode
D-STATCOM
DSTATCOM means Distribution Static Compensator.
STATCOM is a static VAR generator, whose output is
varied so as to maintain or control specific
parameters of the electric power system.
The VSC is used to either completely replace the
voltage or to inject the ‘missing voltage’. The
‘missing voltage’ is the difference between the
nominal voltage and the actual.
It can exchange both active and reactive power
with the distribution system by varying the
amplitude and phase angle of the converter voltage
with respect to the line terminal voltage.

CONTROLLING OF DVR AND D-
STATCOM
There are three different methods of DVR
voltage injection which are-
• Pre-sag compensation method
• In-phase compensation method
• Voltage tolerance method with minimum
energy injection
Controlling methods for D-STATCOM are-
• Phase shift control
• Indirect decoupled current control
• Regulation of AC bus and DC link voltage
TEST RESULTS AND ANALYSIS
G-13kV, 5o Hz,
3 ph transformer-Y/∆/∆, 13/115/15kV,
1 ph transformer- ∆/Y, 15/11 kV,
Rf=0.4 ohm, Tf=100 msec, DC storage capacity is 5 kV,
D-STATCOM results-
Transmission line 230 kV, 50Hz,
3 ph transformer- 230/11/11 kV in YYY,
capacitor-750uF
CONCLUSION
Thus dynamic voltage restorer and
DSTATCOM are very useful devices
for maintaining the power quality of
in power systems.
Power quality problems such as
voltage dips, swell, distortions &
harmonics are also explained.
