Abstract

When designing an electrical power system, power quality should be your first concern. A power quality problem occurs when there is an issue with the electrical power system due to nonstandard voltage, current, or frequency. This study presents the causes and consequences of power distribution system power quality problems. In order to collect the required data from the power distribution system of the Wama sugar factory, the Fluke 435 power quality analyzer was utilized. In addition, the data that was recorded was supplied by the factory. Another power quality improvement method that was implemented was the dynamic voltage restorer (DVR), which helped with voltage sag and other issues caused by various fault scenarios. When there is a voltage drop in the power distribution, DVR can help get the load voltage back up to the normal limit. The direct quadrature park's transformation (DQPT), phase locked loop (PLL), and proportional integral (PI) controller are used to accomplish DVR control. The suggested systems, with and without the DVR, were modelled using MATLAB / SIMULINK software.
