Dynamic Voltage Restorer for Voltage Unbalance Mitigation and Voltage Profile Improvement in Distribution Network
Publishd by Ahmed A. Abdullah AL-KARAKCHI1, Enaam ALBANNA2, Alya H. AL-RIFAIE3, Northern Technical University (1,2,3) ORCID: 1. 0000-0003-1151-3015; 2. 0000-0002-3974-0116; 3. 0000-0002-7978-2193 Abstract. Unbalanced network voltage damages utility and end-user equipment. Electrified trains, single-phase distributed generators, and line-toline connected industrial loads can increase voltage imbalances. Using Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) at appropriate places is oneContinue reading “Dynamic Voltage Restorer for Voltage Unbalance Mitigation and Voltage Profile Improvement in Distribution Network”
