A robust control of dynamic voltage restorer using fuzzy logic

International Aegean Conference on Electrical Machines and Power Electronics and Electromotion ACEMP'07 and Electromotion'07 Joint Conference --10 September 2007 through 12 September 2007 -- Bodrum --In this paper, a new control method for Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is described by combining fuzzy logic (FL) with a carrier modulated PWM inverter. The proposed control scheme is simple to design and has excellent voltage compensation capabilities. The proposed method for voltage sag/swell detection has the ability of detecting different kinds of power disturbances faster than conventional detection methods. Effectiveness of the proposed detection method is shown by the comparison with the conventional methods in the literature. Simulation results under unbalanced supply voltage are presented to evaluate the performance of the designed DVR. ©2007 IEEE
