ABSTRACT
This paper presents a fuzzy logic controller (FLC)-based dynamic voltage
restorer (DVR) to reduce power quality (PQ) issues in the distribution system
(DS). The FLC-DVR injects voltage into the line to maintain voltage stability in
the DS. The DVR is a Series FACTS device, which is connected in series with
the system to improve power quality. The FLC is a novel control method to
control the operation of a DVR. By using the FLC controller, the DVR responds
very quickly to disturbances in the DS. The entire proposed system is designed
and tested in the MATLAB/SIMULINK software. The updated simulation
results show the FLC-DVR is more accurate compared to a conventional PI
controller.
Keywords : Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC), Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR),

Inverter (VSI).
I. INTRODUCTION
Electrical energy is increasingly acknowledged as a
basic necessity for consumers [1]. It is invisible, a
commodity that is instantly available. Solar, solar
thermal, wind, and other renewable energy sources
all use renewable energy systems (RESs) to help to
meet their primary energy needs. The intermittent
nature of RESs, harmonics, and reactive power issues
causes stability issues in the power system, which
halts the performance of the power system [2, 3]. The
Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices
are widely used in distribution grids for reactive
power compensation, voltage stability, and power
quality [4,5]. FACT devices, however, also modify
certain transmission and distribution system aspects
[6].
This paper presents a study of power quality with the
goal of determining the root causes of bad power
quality and offering remedies for these power quality
issues. Computers, laptops, relays, solid-state devices,
variable speed drives, and optical devices are a few
examples of what is referred to as sensitive equipment.
These devices are sensitive to changes in input voltage
brought on by interference from other system
components.
The power system is separated into the following
sections: generation, transmission, and distribution.
