Voltage collapse mitigation by reactive power compensation at the load sideeSAT Journals
Abstract Power system stability may be defined as the property of a power system that enables it to remain in a state of operating equilibrium under normal operating conditions and to regain an acceptable state of equilibrium after being subjected to a disturbance. A general and formal definition is given below. The IEEE/CIGRE Joint Task Force has proposed the following definition-“Power system stability is the ability of an electric power system, for a given initial operating condition, to regain a state of operating equilibrium after being subjected to a physical disturbance, with most system variables bounded, so that practically the entire system remains intact.” The challenge faced in the modern power system is the collapse of voltages at heavy loads at the load buses of a power system. The voltage collapse will in turn will effect the stability of the power system. In this paper a novel way of mitigating the voltage collapse by supplying the reactive power at load buses is discussed and encouraging simulation results are obtained. The method employed is as fallows. Simulation is done without SVC and STATCOM at load buses. On comparison of the results at the load buses it is seen that with SVC and STATCOM at the load buses voltage collapse is mitigated in spite of heavily loading the system. Keywords: Voltage Collapse, Reactive Power Management, Load Bus, Power System Stability.
A Voltage Controlled Dstatcom for Power Quality Improvementiosrjce
Due to increasing complexity in the power system, voltage sag is becoming one of the most significant
power quality problems. Voltage sag is a short reduction voltage from nominal voltage, occurs in a short time.
If the voltage sags exceed two to three cycles, then manufacturing systems making use of sensitive electronic
equipments are likely to be affected leading to major problems. It ultimately leads to wastage of resources (both
material and human) as well as financial losses. This is possible only by ensuring that uninterrupted flow of
power is maintained at proper voltage levels. This project tends look at the solving the sag problems by using
custom power devices such as Distribution Static compensator (D-STATCOM).Proposed scheme follows a new
algorithm to generate reference voltage for a distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) operating in
voltage-control mode. The proposed scheme ensures that unity power factor (UPF) is achieved at the load
terminal during nominal operation, which is not possible in the traditional method. Also, the compensator
injects lower currents therefore, reduces losses in the feeder and voltage-source inverter. Further, a saving in
the rating of DSTATCOM is achieved which increases its capacity to mitigate voltage sag. Nearly UPF is
maintained, while regulating voltage at the load terminal, during load change. The state-space model of
DSTATCOM is incorporated with the deadbeat predictive controller for fast load voltage regulation during
voltage disturbances. With these features, this scheme allows DSTATCOM to tackle power-quality issues by
providing power factor correction, harmonic elimination, load balancing, and voltage regulation based on the
load requirement.

Abstract- Power quality deals with utilization of electric energy from the distribution system successfully without interference or interruption. Various factors like interruption in power supply, under voltage, over voltage, unbalanced voltage or current, harmonic distortion, flickering voltage, voltage fluctuation voltage sag etc. result in poor power quality. These power quality related problems can be solved with the help of various custom power devices. Voltage sags are considered to be the most common type of disturbances in the field based on current power disturbances studies. Their impact on sensitive loads is rigorous. The impact ranges from load disruptions to financial losses. In spite of the technical advances in electronics, there are some pieces of equipment that are so sensitive that they are unable to withstand voltage sags. There are many varies methods to mitigate voltage sags, but a Custom Power Supply device is considered to be the most efficient method. This dissertation is the study of Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) which is the most efficient and effective device to protect sensitive equipment against voltage sags. It has low cost, smaller size and it has dynamic response to the disturbance.

A Novel Method for Prevention of Bandwidth Distributed Denial of Service AttacksIJERD Editor
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks became a massive threat to the Internet. Traditional
Architecture of internet is vulnerable to the attacks like DDoS. Attacker primarily acquire his army of Zombies,
then that army will be instructed by the Attacker that when to start an attack and on whom the attack should be
done. In this paper, different techniques which are used to perform DDoS Attacks, Tools that were used to
perform Attacks and Countermeasures in order to detect the attackers and eliminate the Bandwidth Distributed
Denial of Service attacks (B-DDoS) are reviewed. DDoS Attacks were done by using various Flooding
techniques which are used in DDoS attack.
The main purpose of this paper is to design an architecture which can reduce the Bandwidth
Distributed Denial of service Attack and make the victim site or server available for the normal users by
eliminating the zombie machines. Our Primary focus of this paper is to dispute how normal machines are
turning into zombies (Bots), how attack is been initiated, DDoS attack procedure and how an organization can
save their server from being a DDoS victim. In order to present this we implemented a simulated environment
with Cisco switches, Routers, Firewall, some virtual machines and some Attack tools to display a real DDoS
attack. By using Time scheduling, Resource Limiting, System log, Access Control List and some Modular
policy Framework we stopped the attack and identified the Attacker (Bot) machines

Influence of tensile behaviour of slab on the structural Behaviour of shear c...IJERD Editor
-A composite beam is composed of a steel beam and a slab connected by means of shear connectors
like studs installed on the top flange of the steel beam to form a structure behaving monolithically. This study
analyzes the effects of the tensile behavior of the slab on the structural behavior of the shear connection like slip
stiffness and maximum shear force in composite beams subjected to hogging moment. The results show that the
shear studs located in the crack-concentration zones due to large hogging moments sustain significantly smaller
shear force and slip stiffness than the other zones. Moreover, the reduction of the slip stiffness in the shear
connection appears also to be closely related to the change in the tensile strain of rebar according to the increase
of the load. Further experimental and analytical studies shall be conducted considering variables such as the
reinforcement ratio and the arrangement of shear connectors to achieve efficient design of the shear connection
in composite beams subjected to hogging moment.
Gold prospecting using Remote Sensing ‘A case study of Sudan’IJERD Editor
Gold has been extracted from northeast Africa for more than 5000 years, and this may be the first
place where the metal was extracted. The Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS) is an exposure of Precambrian
crystalline rocks on the flanks of the Red Sea. The crystalline rocks are mostly Neoproterozoic in age. ANS
includes the nations of Israel, Jordan. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Yemen, and Somalia.
Arabian Nubian Shield Consists of juvenile continental crest that formed between 900 550 Ma, when intra
oceanic arc welded together along ophiolite decorated arc. Primary Au mineralization probably developed in
association with the growth of intra oceanic arc and evolution of back arc. Multiple episodes of deformation
have obscured the primary metallogenic setting, but at least some of the deposits preserve evidence that they
originate as sea floor massive sulphide deposits.
The Red Sea Hills Region is a vast span of rugged, harsh and inhospitable sector of the Earth with
inimical moon-like terrain, nevertheless since ancient times it is famed to be an abode of gold and was a major
source of wealth for the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt. The Pharaohs old workings have been periodically
rediscovered through time. Recent endeavours by the Geological Research Authority of Sudan led to the
discovery of a score of occurrences with gold and massive sulphide mineralizations. In the nineties of the
previous century the Geological Research Authority of Sudan (GRAS) in cooperation with BRGM utilized
satellite data of Landsat TM using spectral ratio technique to map possible mineralized zones in the Red Sea
Hills of Sudan. The outcome of the study mapped a gossan type gold mineralization. Band ratio technique was
applied to Arbaat area and a signature of alteration zone was detected. The alteration zones are commonly
associated with mineralization. The alteration zones are commonly associated with mineralization. A filed check
confirmed the existence of stock work of gold bearing quartz in the alteration zone. Another type of gold
mineralization that was discovered using remote sensing is the gold associated with metachert in the Atmur
Desert.
Reducing Corrosion Rate by Welding DesignIJERD Editor
This document summarizes a study on reducing corrosion rates in steel through welding design. The researchers tested different welding groove designs (X, V, 1/2X, 1/2V) and preheating temperatures (400°C, 500°C, 600°C) on ferritic malleable iron samples. Testing found that X and V groove designs with 500°C and 600°C preheating had corrosion rates of 0.5-0.69% weight loss after 14 days, compared to 0.57-0.76% for 400°C preheating. Higher preheating reduced residual stresses which decreased corrosion. Residual stresses were 1.7 MPa for optimal X groove and 600°C

This paper presents a component within the flexible ac-transmission system (FACTS) family, called
distributed power-flow controller (DPFC). The DPFC is derived from the unified power-flow controller (UPFC)
with an eliminated common dc link. The DPFC has the same control capabilities as the UPFC, which comprise
the adjustment of the line impedance, the transmission angle, and the bus voltage. The active power exchange
between the shunt and series converters, which is through the common dc link in the UPFC, is now through the
transmission lines at the third-harmonic frequency. DPFC multiple small-size single-phase converters which
reduces the cost of equipment, no voltage isolation between phases, increases redundancy and there by
reliability increases. The principle and analysis of the DPFC are presented in this paper and the corresponding
simulation results that are carried out on a scaled prototype are also shown.
Mitigation of Voltage Sag/Swell with Fuzzy Control Reduced Rating DVRIJERD Editor
Power quality has been an issue that is becoming increasingly pivotal in industrial electricity
consumers point of view in recent times. Modern industries employ Sensitive power electronic equipments,
control devices and non-linear loads as part of automated processes to increase energy efficiency and
productivity. Voltage disturbances are the most common power quality problem due to this the use of a large
numbers of sophisticated and sensitive electronic equipment in industrial systems is increased. This paper
discusses the design and simulation of dynamic voltage restorer for improvement of power quality and
reduce the harmonics distortion of sensitive loads. Power quality problem is occurring at non-standard
voltage, current and frequency. Electronic devices are very sensitive loads. In power system voltage sag,
swell, flicker and harmonics are some of the problem to the sensitive load. The compensation capability
of a DVR depends primarily on the maximum voltage injection ability and the amount of stored
energy available within the restorer. This device is connected in series with the distribution feeder at
medium voltage. A fuzzy logic control is used to produce the gate pulses for control circuit of DVR and the
circuit is simulated by using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
Study on the Fused Deposition Modelling In Additive ManufacturingIJERD Editor
Additive manufacturing process, also popularly known as 3-D printing, is a process where a product
is created in a succession of layers. It is based on a novel materials incremental manufacturing philosophy.
Unlike conventional manufacturing processes where material is removed from a given work price to derive the
final shape of a product, 3-D printing develops the product from scratch thus obviating the necessity to cut away
materials. This prevents wastage of raw materials. Commonly used raw materials for the process are ABS
plastic, PLA and nylon. Recently the use of gold, bronze and wood has also been implemented. The complexity
factor of this process is 0% as in any object of any shape and size can be manufactured.

A thorough review of existing literature indicates that the Buckley-Leverett equation only analyzes
waterflood practices directly without any adjustments on real reservoir scenarios. By doing so, quite a number
of errors are introduced into these analyses. Also, for most waterflood scenarios, a radial investigation is more
appropriate than a simplified linear system. This study investigates the adoption of the Buckley-Leverett
equation to estimate the radius invasion of the displacing fluid during waterflooding. The model is also adopted
for a Microbial flood and a comparative analysis is conducted for both waterflooding and microbial flooding.
Results shown from the analysis doesn’t only records a success in determining the radial distance of the leading
edge of water during the flooding process, but also gives a clearer understanding of the applicability of
microbes to enhance oil production through in-situ production of bio-products like bio surfactans, biogenic
gases, bio acids etc.

with the help of open source technologies. Emphasis in human activity recognition is given on the pose
estimation and the consistency in the pose of the player. These are estimated with the help of an ordinary web
camera having different resolutions from VGA to 20mps. Our work involved giving a 10 second documentary to
the user on how to play a particular game using gestures and what are the various kinds of gestures that can be
performed in front of the system. The initial inputs of the RGB values for the gesture component is obtained by
instructing the user to place his component in a red box in about 10 seconds after the short documentary before
the game is finished. Later the system opens the concerned game on the internet on popular flash game sites like
miniclip, games arcade, GameStop etc and loads the game clicking at various places and brings the state to a
place where the user is to perform only gestures to start playing the game. At any point of time the user can call
off the game by hitting the esc key and the program will release all of the controls and return to the desktop. It
was noted that the results obtained using an ordinary webcam matched that of the Kinect and the users could
relive the gaming experience of the free flash games on the net. Therefore effective in game advertising could
also be achieved thus resulting in a disruptive growth to the advertising firms.

Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR), also known as Microsatellites, have been extensively used as
molecular markers due to their abundance and high degree of polymorphism. The nucleotide sequences of
polymorphic forms of the same gene should be 99.9% identical. So, Microsatellites extraction from the Gene is
crucial. However, Microsatellites repeat count is compared, if they differ largely, he has some disorder. The Y
chromosome likely contains 50 to 60 genes that provide instructions for making proteins. Because only males
have the Y chromosome, the genes on this chromosome tend to be involved in male sex determination and
development. Several Microsatellite Extractors exist and they fail to extract microsatellites on large data sets of
giga bytes and tera bytes in size. The proposed tool “MS-Extractor: An Innovative Approach to extract

Importance of Measurements in Smart GridIJERD Editor
- The need to get reliable supply, independence from fossil fuels, and capability to provide clean
energy at a fixed and lower cost, the existing power grid structure is transforming into Smart Grid. The
development of a smart energy distribution grid is a current goal of many nations. A Smart Grid should have
new capabilities such as self-healing, high reliability, energy management, and real-time pricing. This new era
of smart future grid will lead to major changes in existing technologies at generation, transmission and
distribution levels. The incorporation of renewable energy resources and distribution generators in the existing
grid will increase the complexity, optimization problems and instability of the system. This will lead to a
paradigm shift in the instrumentation and control requirements for Smart Grids for high quality, stable and
reliable electricity supply of power. The monitoring of the grid system state and stability relies on the
availability of reliable measurement of data. In this paper the measurement areas that highlight new
measurement challenges, development of the Smart Meters and the critical parameters of electric energy to be

The results showed that replacing 30% of cement with GGBS and 15% with limestone powder produced SCC with the highest compressive strength of 46MPa, meeting fresh property requirements. The study concluded that this ternary blend of cement, GGBS and limestone powder can improve SCC properties while reducing costs.

Abstract:- Power quality is one of the major concerns in the present era. Out of various power quality
issues, voltage sag is considered to be a frequently occurring phenomena that can be rectified by the
use of custom power devices like Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), which is the most efficient and
effective modern custom power device used in power distribution networks. Its appeal includes lower
cost, smaller size, and its fast dynamic response to the disturbance. In this paper, modelling, analysis
and simulation of a high efficient Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) was done in MATLAB. The
efficiency of the DVR depends on the performance of the control technique involved in switching of
the inverters. Hence different control technique like discrete PWM scheme using PI controller
hysteresis current controller and hysteresis voltage controller were used. Based on the comparison
between the performance of PI controller, hysteresis current controller and hysteresis voltage
controller, in controlling the switching of PWM inverter switches, the optimum controller that
improves the performance of Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is suggested.
Keywords:- Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), Voltage sag, Hysteresis voltage control, Hysteresis
current control, PI controller.
I. INTRODUCTION
Power distribution systems, ideally, should provide their customers with an uninterrupted flow of
energy at smooth sinusoidal voltage at the contracted magnitude level and frequency. However, in practice,
power systems, especially with distribution systems, have numerous nonlinear loads, which significantly affect
the quality of power supplies. As a result of the nonlinear loads, the purity of the waveform supplies is lost .This
ends up producing many power quality problems. Apart from nonlinear loads, some system events, both usual
(e.g. capacitor switching, motor starting) and unusual (e.g. faults) could also inflict power quality problems.
Power quality is an issue that is become increasingly important to electricity consumers at all levels of usage.
Sensitive equipment and non-linear loads are now more common place in both industrial sectors and domestic
environment [1].Power quality problems encompass a wide range of disturbances such as voltage sag, voltage
swell, flickers, harmonic distortions, impulse transients Land interruptions. Faults at either the transmission or
distribution level may cause transient voltage sag or swell in the entire system or swell in the entire system or
large part of it. Voltage drop will also occur in the heavy load conditions. Short circuits, starting large motors,
sudden changes of load, and energization of transformers are the main causes of voltage sags. Voltage sag is the
decrease of 0.1 to 0.9 pu in the rms voltage level at system frequency and with the duration of half a cycle to one
minute. Further, they could be either balanced or unbalanced depending on factors such as distance from the
fault and the transformer connections. Voltage swell, on the other hand, is defined as an event in which the RMS
voltage increases between 1.1 and 1.8 pu at the power frequency .It lasts for durations of 0.5 to 1 minute.
Voltage swells are not as important as voltage sags because they are less common in distribution systems.
Voltage sag and swell can cause sensitive equipments (such as found in semiconductor chemical plants) to fail,
or shutdown, as well as create a large current unbalance that could blow fuses or trip breakers. These effects can
be very expensive for the customer, ranging from minor quality variations to production downtime and
equipment damage [1].
There are many different methods to mitigate voltage sags and swells, but the use of a custom power
device is considered to be the most efficient method. The concept of custom power was introduced by
N.G.Hingorani in 1995. Like Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) for transmission systems pertains to
the use of power electronics controllers in distribution system, especially, to deal with various power quality
problems. Just as FACTS improves the power transfer capabilities and stability margins,custom power makes
sure customers get pre-specified quality and reliability of supply. This pre-specified quality may contain a
combination of specifications of the following: low phase unbalance, no power interruptions , low flicker at the
load voltage , low harmonic distortion in load voltage , magnitude and duration of overvoltages and

undervoltages within specified limits, acceptance of fluctuations, and poor factor load without significant
effect on the terminal voltage [1].
The custom devices which are used for voltage sag mitigation are Dynamic Voltage
Restorer(DVR), Active Series Compensators, Distribution Static Synchronous Compensators(DSTATCOM) ,
Solid State(static) Transfer Switch(SSTS), Static UPS with Minimal Energy Storage, Backup Storage Energy
Supply(BSES), Flywheel with UPS System, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), Distribution Series
Capac Magnetic Energy Systems(SMES) , Static Electronic Tap Changers(SETC), Solid-State Fault Current
Limiter(SSFCL), Static Var Compensator(SVC), Thyristor Switched Capacitor(TSC), and Uninterruptible
Power Supplies(UPS) [2].
Each of the custom devices has its own benefits and limitations .The most effective type of these
devices is considered to be the Dynamic Voltage Restorer(DVR).The SVC pre-dates the DVR , but the DVR
is still preferred because the SVC has no ability to control active power flow. DVR is less cost while
compared to UPS. Rather than high cost UPS also needed high level of maintenance because batteries leak and
have to be replaced often as every five years. Also DVR has a higher energy capacity and lower costs
compared to the SMES device. Furthermore, the DVR is smaller in size and costs less compared to
DSTATCOM. In addition to voltage sags and swells compensation, DVR can also added other features such as
harmonics and power factor correction. Compared to other devices DVR is provides the best economic solutions
for its size and capabilities. This power electronic converter-based compensator is connected in series with the
distribution feeder between the supply and the loads. Its main function is to mitigate any supply voltage
disturbance, especially voltage sag, by inserting a voltage with the required magnitude and phase shift in order
to restore the load voltage to its rated value [1].
II. DYNAMIC VOLTAGE RESTORER (DVR) COMPONENTS
The power circuit of DVR consists of following main five components: Voltage source inverter
(VSI), Voltage injection transformer, DC energy storage device, low pass filter and a control method as shown
in Fig.1.
A. Injection/Booster Transformer
Its basic function is to step up the ac low voltage supplied by the VSI to the required voltage.
It is a specially designed transformer that attempts to limit the coupling of noise and transient energy from
the primary side to secondary. It connects the DVR to the distribution network through the HV windings.
In addition it also performs the isolation of the load from the system. In case of three phase DVR, three single
phase injection transformers are used [2, 4].
B. Passive Filter
A passive low pass filter consists of an inductor and capacitor. It can be placed either at high
voltage side or the inverter side of the injection transformer. It is used to filter out the switching
harmonic components from the injected voltage . By placing the filter at the inverter side , the higher
order harmonics are prevented from penetrating into the transformer. When the filter is placed on the high
voltage side , the harmonics can penetrate into the high voltage side of the transformer , a higher rating
is required. Filter has a small rating approximately 2% of the load MVA connected to delta-connected
tertiary winding of the injection transformer [1].
C. Voltage Source Inverter
The Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) or simply the inverter , which converts the dc voltage from
the energy storage unit(or the dc link) to a controllable three phase ac voltage. This voltage is boosted
through the injection transformer to the main system. The inverter switches are normally fired using a sinusoidal
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) scheme. The PWM generates sinusoidal signals by comparing a
sinusoidal wave with a sawtooth wave and sending appropriate signals to the inverter switches. Usually
the rating of VSI is low voltage and high current due to the use of step up injection transformers
[1,4].

D. DC Energy Storage Device
The purpose is to supply the necessary energy to the VSI via a dc link for the generation
of injected voltages. The different kinds of energy storage devices are superconductive magnetic energy
storage (SMES), batteries, fly wheels, super capacitors and capacitors. The capacity of the stored energy
directly determines the duration of the sag which can be mitigating by the DVR. Batteries are the
common choice and can be highly effective if a high voltage configuration is used. This high voltage
string of batteries can be placed across the regulated dc bus with little or no additional circuitry. For
Batteries and SMES, DC to AC conversion(inverters) is necessary, while for flywheels AC to AC
conversion required [1,4].
E. Hysteresis Voltage Controller
Here we are using a conventional hysteresis voltage control technique which is one type of nonlinear
voltage control based on voltage error. Fig.2 shows the principles of hysteresis voltage control. It consists of a
comparison between the output voltage Vo and the tolerance limits (VH, VL) around the reference voltage
Vref.While the output voltage Vo is between upper limit VH and lower limit VL, no switching occurs and when
the output voltage crosses to pass the upper limit (lower band) the output voltage is decreased (increased)
[10,11].
F. Hysteresis Current Controller
In a hysteresis controller, the hysteresis comparators are used to impose hysteresis around the reference
current. Among all current control techniques, the hysteresis controller is widely used because of its simplicity
of implementation and fast response current loop. This method does not need any knowledge of load parameters
and it also has maximum current limits.
Fig .2: Principle of operation of hysteresis voltage controller
However, the main disadvantage is the variation of switching frequency during load parameter
variation of fundamental period [5, 7, 8].
As shown in the fig.3 the reference current values will be converted from two phase to three phase
variables by the use two phase to three phase transformation method. Then three phase reference current values
will be compared with actual current and error value will be produced. Based on the error value the two level
hysteresis controller will give the gate signals for the semiconductor switches of voltage source inverter and the
current value will be maintained constant.
Fig.3: Block diagram of conventional hysteresis current controller
III. OPERATING PRINCIPLE of DVR
The single phase DVR is employed for low power loads while three phase DVR is employed for all
practical high power applications as in industrial loads and domestic loads. The basic function of the DVR
is to inject a dynamically controlled voltage VDVR generated by a force commutated converter in series
to the bus voltage by means of a boost transformer . The momentary amplitudes of the three injected phase
voltages are controlled such as to eliminate any detrimental effects of a bus fault to the load voltage VL .This
4. Dynamic Voltage Restorer for Distribution System
17
means that any differential voltages caused by transient disturbances in the ac feeder will be compensated by an
equivalent voltage generated by the converter and injected on the medium voltage level through the boost
transformer.
The DVR works independently of the type of fault or any event that happens in the system,
provided that the whole system remains connected to the supply grid, i.e. the line breaker does not trip. For
most practical cases, a more economical design can be achieved by only compensating the positive and negative
sequence components of the voltage disturbance seen at the input of the DVR. This option is reasonable
because for a typical distribution bus configuration, the zero sequence part of a disturbance will not pass
through the step step down transformer because of infinite impedance for this component [1].
The DVR has two modes of operation which are: standby mode and boost mode. In standby
mode(VDVR=0), the boost transformer’s low voltage winding is shorted through the converter. No
switching of semiconductors occurs in this mode of operation, because the individual converter legs are
triggered such as to establish a short-circuit path for the transformer connection. Therefore, only the
comparatively low conduction losses of the semiconductors in this current loop contribute to the losses. The
DVR will be most of the time in this mode. In boost mode(VDVR>0), the DVR is injecting a compensation
voltage through the booster transformer due to a detection of supply voltage disturbance [2].
IV. SIMULATION AND RESULTS
A. Test System
The single line diagram of test system of DVR is shown in fig. 4 .It is composed by a 11kV, 50Hz,
generating system feeding two transmission lines through a three winding transformer connected in Y/Δ/Δ,
13/115/115kV. Such transmission lines feed two secondary transmission lines through the transformers
connected in Δ/Y, 115/11kV.These two secondary transmission systems feed the two distribution networks
through the transformers connected in Y/Y, 11kV/440V. To verify the working of DVR for voltage
compensation three phase balanced fault is applied at point x at resistance 0.01 for time duration of 0.1s. The
DVR is simulated to be in operation only for the duration of fault.
