Active Voltage Control (AVC) for Reducing Three-phase Voltage Fluctuations

Abstract

The paper presents an active voltage compensator (AVC) to prevent voltage fluctuations on the load in both voltage’s rise and fall directions. This AVC is designed based on modeling a three-phase four-branch inverter according to the large-signal average model and the small-signal model—calculation and design of d-q channel controller and 0 channel controller by the frequency-domain method. This AVC significantly reduces production interruptions while protecting equipment life reduction. The theory results are proven through MATLAB/Simulink simulation.
