Abstract - A Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is one of the best solutions for power quality problems like voltage sags and
swells, but the individual DVR usage have no capability to control the active power injection into the grid. In order to have
such a control and to compensate the problem of voltage sag, a lagging voltage to be injected, which is in quadrature with the
line current i.e., it needs a penetration of rechargeable energy storage at DC-terminal of DVR. In the literature there are many
types of rechargeable energy storage technologies like Flywheels (FESS), Super Conducting Magnets (SMES) are integrated.
Each of the technologies have their own merits and demerits.
In this paper active power is controlled through integration of rechargeable energy storage. For this type of application,
rechargeable Ultra Capacitors (UCAP) are to be integrated, this integration of UCAP & DVR system is the best suit for the
active power support in the milliseconds to seconds range. Since the ultra-capacitors can exhibit low-energy density and high
energy density capabilities. It can be capable of handling the both type issues of sags and swells. Also this integration have
active power capability and compensate temporary voltage sags and swells without relying on the grid.
But the design and control of the DC-DC converter is a complex task but in this work those complexities are also discussed and
average current mode control is used to regulate the output voltage of DC-DC converters. Both DC-AC converter and the DC-
DC converter are discussed. The simulation model of the overall system is developed in MATLAB software.
Key Words: Keywords: DC–DC converter, d–q control, DSP, dynamic voltage restorer (DVR), energy storage
integration, phase locked loop (PLL), sag/swell, Ultra capacitor (UCAP).
1. INTRODUCTION
Cost of various energy storage technologies is decreasing rapidly and the integration of these technologies into the
power grid is becoming a reality with the advent of smart grid. DVR is a one product that can provide improved voltage sag
and swell compensation with energy storage integration [1]. Ultra-Capacitor (UCAP) is a energy storage device, which can
be integrated to inverter based DVR for preventing momentary disturbances in the utility side.
The concept of using inverter-based dynamic voltage restorers (DVRs) for preventing customers from momentary
voltage disturbances on the utility side the concept of using the DVR as a power quality product has gained significant
popularity since its first use. In, the authors propose the usage of the DVR with rechargeable energy storage at the dc-
terminal to meet the active power requirements of the grid during voltage disturbances. In order to avoid and minimize
the active power injection into the grid [2], the authors also mention an alternative solution which is to compensate for the
voltage sag by inserting a lagging voltage in quadrature with the line current.
The control strategies have also been developed to minimize the active power injection from the DVR. The high
cost of the rechargeable energy storage prevents the penetration of the DVR as a power quality product. However, the cost
of rechargeable energy storage has been decreasing drastically in the recent past due to various technological
developments and due to higher penetration in the market in the form of auxiliary energy storage for distributed energy
resources (DERs) such as wind, solar, hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEVs).
Therefore, there has been renewed interest in the literature [3] to integrate rechargeable energy storage again at the dc-
terminal of power quality products such as static compensator (STATCOM) and DVR. Various types of rechargeable energy
storage technologies based on superconducting magnets (SMES), flywheels (FESS), batteries (BESS), and ultra-capacitors
(UCAPs) are compared in [4] for integration into advanced power applications such as DVR. In [5], the authors propose the
usage of the DVR with rechargeable energy storage at the dc-terminal to meet the active power requirements of the grid
during voltage disturbances. In order to avoid and minimize the active power injection into the grid, the authors also
mention an alternative solution which is to compensate for the voltage sag by inserting a lagging voltage in quadrature

with the line current. Due to the high cost of rechargeable energy storage, various other types of control strategies have
also been developed in the literature [6]–[12] to minimize the active power injection from the DVR.
The high cost of the rechargeable energy storage prevents the penetration of the DVR as a power quality product.
However, the cost of rechargeable energy storage has been decreasing drastically in the recent past due to various
technological developments and due to higher penetration in the market in the form of auxiliary energy storage for
distributed energy resources (DERs) such as wind, solar, hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and plug-in hybrid electric
vehicle (PHEVs) [13], [14]. Therefore, there has been renewed interest in the literature [15]–[18] to integrate rechargeable
energy storage again at the dc-terminal of power quality products such as static compensator (STATCOM) and DVR.
In this paper, UCAP-based energy storage integration to a DVR into the distribution grid is proposed and the
following application areas are addressed.
1. To design the integration of Ultra Capacitor-Dynamic Voltage Restorer (UCAP-DVR) for improving active power
capability to compensate the temporary voltage sags and swells.
2. To improve the voltage restoration capabilities at the UCAP-DVR system.
2. SINGLE LINE DIAGRAM OF DVR WITH UCAP:
Fig.1 Single Line diagram of DVR with UCAP energy storage
The single line diagram UCAP with energy storage is as shown in Fig.1. In this circuit contains Dynamic Voltage
Restorer with a Ultra capacitor, it injecting the external power to the transmission line. The Ultra Capacitor provides DC
supply to the boost converter. It is a DC-DC converter converts fixed DC input into variable (greater than or less than)
input voltage. Then the capacitor can be used reduce the harmonics in the output voltage then it is converted into the AC
by means of series inverter.
A UCAP cannot be directly connected to the dc-link of the inverter like a battery, as the voltage profile of the UCAP
varies as it discharges energy.
Therefore, there is a need to integrate the UCAP system through a bidirectional dc–dc converter, which maintains a
stiff dc-link voltage, as the UCAP voltage decreases while discharging and increases while charging.
The model of three phase inverter DVR as shown in Fig.2. and The model of the bidirectional dc–dc converter and its
controller are shown in Fig.3. where the input consists of three UCAPs connected in series and the output consists of a
nominal load 213.5 Ω to prevent operation at no-load, and the output is connected to the dc-link of the inverter. The
amount of active power support required by the grid during a voltage sag event is dependent on the depth and duration of
the voltage sag, and the dc–dc converter should be able to withstand this power during the discharge mode.

3. MODEL OF THREE-PHASE SERIES INVERTER (DVR):
Fig.2. Model of three phase inverter
The inverter system consists of an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) module, its gate-driver, LC filter, and an
isolation transformer. The dc-link voltage Vdc is regulated at 260 V for optimum performance of the converter and the
line–line voltage Vab is 208 V; based on these, the modulation index m of the inverter is given by
m = ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,eqn (1)
where n is the turns ratio of the isolation transformer. Substituting n as 2.5 in eqn (1), the required modulation index
is calculated as 0.52. Therefore, the output of the dc–dc converter should be regulated at 260 V for providing accurate
voltage compensation. The objective of the integrated UCAPDVR system with active power capability is to compensate for
temporary voltage sags and voltage swell.
4. CONTROLLER IMPLEMENTATION:
Fig.3. controller implementation of three phase inverter
As shown in Fig.3. there are various methods to control the series inverter to provide and most of them rely on
injecting a voltage in quadrature with advanced phase, so that reactive power is utilized in voltage restoration. Phase
advanced voltage restoration techniques are complex in implementation, but the primary reason for using these
techniques dynamic voltage restoration is to minimize the active power support and thereby the amount of energy storage
requirement at the dc-link in order to minimize the cost of energy storage. However, the cost of energy storage has been

declining and with the availability of active power support at the dc-link, complicated phase-advanced techniques can be
avoided and voltages can be injected in-phase with the system voltage during a voltage sag or a swell event. The control
method requires the use of a PLL to find the rotating angle. the goal of this project is to use the active power capability of
the UCAP-DVR system and compensate temporary voltage sags and swells.
The inverter controller implementation is based on injecting voltages in-phase with the supply-side line–neutral
voltages. This requires PLL for estimating θ, which has been implemented using the fictitious power method. Based on the
estimated θ and the line–line source voltages, Vab, Vbc, and Vca (which are available for this delta-sourced system) are
transformed into the d–q domain and the line– neutral components of the source voltage Vsa, Vsb, and Vsc, which are not
available, can then be estimated using

Therefore, whenever there is a voltage sag or swell on the source side, a corresponding voltage Vinj2 is injected in-
phase by the DVR and UCAP system to negate the effect and retain a constant voltage VL at the load end. The actual active
and reactive power supplied by the series inverter can be computed from the rms values of the injected voltage Vinj2a and
load current ILa, and ϕ is the phase difference between the two waveforms.
5. PHASE LOCKED LOOP:
As shown in Fig.5. Phase-locked loop (PLL) is a control system that generates a signal that has a fixed relation to
the phase of a "reference" signal. A phase-locked loop circuit responds to both the frequency and the phase of the input
signals, automatically raising or lowering the frequency of a controlled oscillator until it is matched to the reference in
both frequency and phase.
A PLL is a control loop consisting of three fundamental components, as shown in figure These are a phase detector
or phase comparator (PD), a loop filter (LF) and a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The phase detector compares the
phase of a periodic input signal against the phase of the fed-back output signal. The phase detector output is a measure of
phase error between its two applied inputs. The error voltage is then filtered by the loop filter, whose control output is
then applied to the VCO. The control voltage changes the VCO frequency in a direction that reduces the phase error
between the input signal and the VCO.

7. CONCLUSION:
This Paper mainly concentrates to mitigate the voltage sags and swells by using a Fuzzy logic controller in DC-DC
converter at the integration of UCAP-DVR. Voltage sag and voltage swell compensation of the distribution grid by this
means improving the power quality. In the system the Ultra capacitor based rechargeable energy storage integrated to the
DVR system to increase its voltage restoration capabilities.
DVR is able to separately compensate voltage sag and swells without relying on the grid to compensate for faults. The
control approach used is simple and is based on injecting voltages in-phase with the system voltage and is easier to
implement when the DVR system has the ability to supply active power. Average current mode control is used to control
the output voltage of the dc–dc converter due to its naturally stable characteristics.
In the existing method, PI controller is used as a controllers of both DC-DC converter and DVR. In the proposed
system, fuzzy logic controller is used in DC-DC converter by replacing average current mode controller in order to reduce
the mathematical modelling and can work with imprecise inputs and can handle linearities and non-linearities. Simulation
of the ultra-capacitor, dc-dc converter and grid joined inverter is carried out using MATLAB and magnitudes of the
waveforms is observed for voltage sag and swell conditions. In the proposed system fuzzy logic controller is used at the
integration of UCAP-DVR is simulated and it reduced mathematical modelling when compared to existing system.
