APPLICATION OF DYNAMIC VOLTAGE RESTORER TO IMPROVE POWER QUALITY IN STAND-ALONE WIND POWER SYSTEMS UNDER VARIABLE OPERATING CONDITIONS

Abstract

In power systems where sensitive loads are supplied by renewable energy sources, voltage fluctuations and power outages may result in the voltage demanded by the load not being met or the load being supplied with a voltage with high harmonic distortion. This may damage the sensitive load after a while or even cause the load to become inoperable. In this study, a dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) was implemented in a stand-alone wind turbine power system to improve the power quality. DVR technology continuously monitors the power system and injects series voltage as needed in case of possible voltage sags, swells, or fluctuations. The aim of this study is to increase system reliability and quality by ensuring the load voltage performs at nominal operating conditions even in the event of unexpected electrical faults between the source and the load. The proposed application was tested at different loads (linear and non-linear), wind speeds (14 -16 m/s), phase voltage faults, and source frequencies. In different operating conditions, the THD of the load voltage was kept at <5% (compliant with IEEE-519 standards). Additionally, voltage sags and swells have been successfully compensated and confirming the system stability and reliability.
