Control strategy for dynamic voltage restorers to achieve minimum power injection without introducing sudden phase shift

A power injection control strategy is proposed for dynamic voltage restorers (DVR) under voltage sag or swell conditions. Under such a strategy, the error between the voltage of the energy storage capacitor in the DVR and a given reference voltage is extracted to control the injected power such that during an upstream voltage disturbance, zero or minimum power injection can be achieved automatically, while sudden phase jump of the load-side voltage can also be avoided. The proposed control strategy is analysed in detail and numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the scheme.
