This paper deals with simulation and implementation of three level inverter based Dynamic Voltage Restorer(DVR). The control of DVR that injects a voltage in series with a distribution feeder is presented. DVR is a power electronic controller that can protect sensitive loads from disturbances in supply system. DVR can regulate the voltage at the load. Laboratory model is developed and the experimental results are compared with simulation studies. I. INTRODUCTION A power electronic converter based series compensator that can protect critical loads from all supply side disturbances other than outages is called a dynamic voltage restorer. The restorer is capable of generating or absorbing independently controllable real and reactive power at its AC output terminal. This device employs solid state power electronic switches in a pulse width modulated (PWM) inverter structure. It injects a set of three phase AC output voltages in series and synchronism with the distribution feeder voltages. The amplitude and phase angle of the injected voltages are variable there by allowing control of the real and reactive power exchange between the device and the distribution system. The DC input terminal of the restorer is connected to an energy source or an energy storage device of appropriate capacity. The reactive power exchanged between the restorer and the distribution system is internally generated by the restorer without AC passive reactive components. The real power exchanged at the restorer output AC terminals is provided by the restorer input DC terminal from an external energy source or energy storage system. In August 1996, Westinghouse Electric Corporation installed world's first dynamic voltage restorer in Duke Power Company's 12.47 kV substation in Anderson, South Carolina. This was installed to provide protection to an automated rug manufacturing plant. Prior to this connection, the restorer was first installed at the Waltz Mill test facility near Pittsburgh for the full power tests. The test results are discussed in (1).
