The application of voltage direct detection method based on mathematical morphology in distribution network with DG

Distributed generation (DG) injects new vigor into the power system, but it sometimes brings unfavorable factors influencing the power quality of distribution network. In this paper, the Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is introduced to the distribution network to improve the power quality. In view of that the detection of voltage compensation is the key factor that influences the effect of voltage compensation, a voltage direct detection method based on mathematical morphology is proposed. Firstly, the positive-sequence voltage with harmonics can be extracted by the instantaneous sequence-component decomposer. And then the harmonics is filtered by mathematical morphology filter. Lastly, the control variable of voltage compensation needed by DVR can be calculated from the voltage direct-detecting algorithm. The simulation results show that this method has the characteristics of favorable accuracy, real-time performance and simplicity, and assures the voltage quality of load side after compensation by DVR.
