Abstract

The instantaneous voltage drop is occurred when the fault is happened on the nearby feeders. The instantaneous voltage drop is continued during relatively short period. But, the effect of it can be very severe to some sensitive devices. That is, it can be the reason of restart or malfunction of some devices. And these phenomenons can cause the enormous economical damage and shorten the lifetime of the devices. In this paper, the device which can compensate the instantaneous voltage drop, is studied. Through the computer simulation using PSCAD/EMTDC, the validity of the control algorithm using peak detection method is verified. And the Dynamic Voltage Restorer(DVR) prototype is designed and constructed. Through the experiment, the function and performance of the DVR prototype is verified.
