Abstract
This paper presents a generalized control algorithm for voltage disturbance extraction and mitigation. The proposed mitigating device is the dynamic voltage restorer (DVR). A DVR is commonly used to mitigate the voltage sags. In this paper the proposed DVR can compensate the voltage unbalance and mitigate voltage harmonics in the time of normal operation as well as performs its basic function during the fault condition. The suggested control algorithm employs an adaptive perceptron to effectively and adaptively track and extract the most common voltage harmonics, voltage unbalance (which include negative and zero sequence voltage drops), and different types of voltage sags, which include balanced and unbalanced voltage sags. Digital simulation results are obtained using PSCAD/EMTDC to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm. Experimental results are demonstrated to prove the practicality of the mitigating device.
