1. INTRODUCTION

DVR is used to counteract voltage sags by injecting controlled three-phase ac voltages in series with the supply voltage and to enhance the quality of voltage by adjusting voltage magnitude, wave shape and phase angle [3]-[6]. In general, DVR is bypassed during down-stream fault in order to protect the components of the DVR against the high fault currents [9]-[11].

A control scheme for DVR to function as fault current limiter is provided in [9]. The main drawback of this scheme is that the dc link voltage rise due to real power absorption. The dc link voltage rise can be mitigated at the cost of a slow decaying dc fault current component using the methods proposed in [7] and [12].

To overcome the limitations which are mentioned above, this paper introduces a control strategy for DVR such that voltage sag compensation under balanced and unbalanced conditions and a function of interrupting the fault current. The former function has been presented in [13] and the latter is in this paper. Limiting fault current by the DVR disables the main and backup protection (e.g. over current relay). This can result in prolonging the duration fault. Thus, it is preferred to reduce the fault current to zero and send a trip signal to the upstream relay.

FCI function requires 100% voltage injection capability. Thus, power ratings of the series transformer and the VSC would be three times the conventional DVR. This would result in more expensive DVR system. Economic feasibility of such a DVR depends on the importance of the load protected by the DVR and the cost of DVR itself. The performance of the proposed control strategy is evaluated through simulation in MATLAB/Simulink. The results indicate that the proposed scheme i) can interrupt the fault current within two

cycles ii) limits the dc link voltage rise so that no restrictions iii)gives satisfactory operation under arcing fault conditions also iv) can interrupt the fault current under low dc link voltage conditions.

2. THE CONTROL SCHEME

The DVR converter consists of three independent H-bridge VSCs that are connected to a common dc link capacitor. These VSCs are connected in series to the supply grid. The control scheme consists of three independent and identical controllers’ one for each VSC of the DVR. Assume supply voltage vs = Vs

load voltage vl = Vl injected voltage vinj= vl-vs = Vinj

For the estimation of magnitudes and phase angles of the phasors corresponding to vand vinj, two identical least error squares filters are used.

The digital filter acts as a phasor parameter estimator and attenuates the harmonic contents of the measured signal. For the attenuation of all harmonics, the filter must have a full cycle data window which leads to one cycle delay in the DVR response. Thus, an appropriate compromise between voltage injection speed and disturbance attenuation is made. The filter utilize a data window of 50 samples at the sampling rate of 10 kHz and hence, estimate the voltage phasor parameters in 5 ms. Ref. [13] illustrates the effectiveness of this filter in attenuating the noise, harmonics, distortions and sag compensation mode. The present paper shows that this filter also performs satisfactorily in the FCI mode, even under arcing fault conditions where the

2.1 Voltage phasor control system

In the FCI operation mode, the required injected voltage phasor is equal to the source voltage phasor but in phase opposition. The performance in terms of transient response, speed and steady-state error is enhanced by independent control of the magnitude and phase. The steady-state errors of magnitude and phase of the injected voltage can be eliminated by using two PI controllers (C1 and C2). Parameters of each controller are determined to achieve a fast response with zero steady-state error. The output of voltage phasor control system is a reference phasor V*inj.The magnitude and phase angle of V*inj are independently calculated and passed through a limiter. The resulting magnitude and phase angle are converted to the sinusoidal signal V*inj and is given as a reference signal to the instantaneous voltage control.

2.2 Instantaneous voltage control system

Under ideal conditions, voltage sag compensation is done if the output of the output of the phasor based controller V*inj is directly fed to the SPWM unit. However, resonances of harmonic filter can’t be eliminated. Therefore, to improve dynamic response and stability of the DVR, an instantaneous injected voltage controller and a harmonic filter capacitor current controller are used to attenuate resonances. The generated reference signal V*inj is compared with the measured injected voltage Vinj and the error is fed to the voltage controller. The output of the voltage controller i*cap acts as a reference signal for the filter capacitor current control loop. This i*cap is compared with the measured capacitor current icap, and error is fed to the current controller. The

steady state error of the system is fully eliminated by the PI controller in the outer control loop. Therefore, there is no need for higher order controllers in the inner control loop. If a large value of kv is used, it results in amplification of the DVR filter resonance and has adverse impact on the system stability [18]. Thus, the transient response of the DVR is enhanced by feed forward loop and a small proportional gain is utilized as the voltage controller. A large kc damps the harmonic resonance but it is limited by practical considerations. Therefore the lowest value of the proportional gain which can effectively damp the resonances is used. The output of the current controller is added to the feed forward voltage to derive the signal for the PWM generator.

In FCI mode, the injected voltage phasor should be equal to the source voltage phasor but in opposite direction.The voltage phasor control block consists of two PI controllers(C1 and C2) that are used to eliminate steady state errors of the magnitude and phase of the injected voltage. The output phasor of this block is V*(inj). To make the injected voltages free from the effect of dc-link voltage variations, V*(inj)

normalized by Vdc. Ideally voltage sag can be compensated effectively if the output of voltage phasor control is directly fed to the sinusoidal pulse width modulation(SPWM) unit. However, resonances of harmonic filter can’t be eliminated.Therefore to improve transient stability and dynamic response of DVR, an instantaneous injected voltage controller and a harmonic filter capacitor current controller are used to attenuate resonances. The generated reference signal for V*(inj) is compared with the measured
