Abstract -Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) can
provide the most cost effective solution to mitigate
voltage sags, voltage swells and outages by
establishing the proper voltage quality level that is
required by the sensitive loads. PV-DVR system has
become a favorable solution for a home or small
industry. Particularly in Tamil Nadu, India, rural
areas that have a substantial amount of insulation
and have more frequent power interruptions on every
day. This may occur in the developing countries,
where the generated electrical power is less than their
demand. Problems facing industries and residences
regarding the power qualities are mainly due to
voltage sag, short duration voltage swell and long
duration power interruptions.The rating and design
of series injection transformer of the DVR is
presented. Many research works have been carried
out on focusing the design and control of DVR. on-line
type DVR has been presented to compensate the
voltage sag in the system. The DVR without PV system,
supported by the super capacitor as energy storage
device for power quality improvement in electrical
distribution system is presented.
