ABSTRACT
A new topology of photovoltaic (PV) based transformerless dynamic voltage restorer (TDVR) with high gain DC-DC boost converter is proposed to mitigate voltage sag and swell, interruptions, and unbalanced outages in single-phase grid. The proposed PV-DVR high DC-DC boost converter is comprised of one MOSFET switch and three inductors with second order generalized integrator (SOGI) based unit vector template (UVT) control to enhance the effectiveness of the system for grid-connected renewable applications. The high voltage (HV) gain is achieved by this proposed converter through its soft-switching ability and coupled inductor arrangement with continuous conduction mode (CCM). In the proposed high gain DC-DC converter, the MOSFET IRFP260 power switch is preferably used for low voltage stress and also minimum on-state resistance. The mathematical analysis of the proposed converter is also discussed in this paper. The proposed converter is interfaced with an SOGI-PLL controller with input voltage (24 V), output voltage (230 V), and power rating as 250 W with less number of both passive and active switches. Moreover, to validate the performance and advantage of the proposed converter, the system was simulated by using MATLAB-SIMULINK and laboratory 250 W prototype results are presented to show the effectiveness of the design to limit the voltage sag – 0.1 pu and swell – 1.9 pu and also THD% level within in ceiling limit prescribed in IEEE STD at the load side.
