Dynamic Voltage Restorers (DVRs) significantly improve power quality in microgrids by actively compensating for voltage disturbances such as sags, swells, and voltage unbalance, thereby protecting sensitive loads and enhancing overall system stability. A DVR is a series-connected power electronic device installed between the source and the sensitive load. It operates by injecting a voltage waveform into the system to compensate for any voltage deviations, maintaining a constant and stable voltage at the load terminals. Here’s how DVRs address specific voltage disturbances: Voltage Sags: When a voltage sag occurs (a temporary reduction in voltage), the DVR injects a voltage in series with the line voltage. This injected voltage is precisely controlled in magnitude and phase angle to restore the load voltage to its nominal value. The DVR draws the required power from an ener....
