A solar PV-fed MF-DVR for compensation of grid-islanding issues and power-quality issues in grid-connected distribution system

Abstrak

Difficulties with the quality of power come up as an effect of the inte-conneted renewable energy through grid called as distribution generation (DG) scheme. The voltage harmonics and swell-sag are happened in the utility grid as a result of power quality issues, affecting end-level consumers. Moreover, grid islanding issues is considered the most affected problem in distribution system for affecting the uninterrupted energy-flow to respective load demand. The main aim of this paper provides affective designing of the suitable cost-effective multi-functional dynamic voltage restorer (MF-DVR) has been proposed for resolving the problems. The major objective is mitigation of voltage-interruptions during grid-islanding, voltage-sag, voltage-swell and voltage-harmonics, any voltage quality in the utility grid, by utilizing the solar photovoltaic (PV) integrated MF-DVR as DG scheme through synchronous reference frame (SRF) control theory. Also, it can regulate the voltage and phase of the distribution system during sudden voltage interruptions occurred in grid-islanding. The performance of the proposed SRF controlled MFDVR for power-quality (PQ) improvement and DG integration during grid-islanding has been validated via Matlab/Simulink computing tool; the simulation findings are shown with an appealing comparison analysis.
