N2 - An area of interest for dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) research is the damping of transient oscillations initiated at the start and at the recovery instant from a voltage sag. Nonlinear loads, with harmonic currents close to the DVR filter resonance frequency, can also excite the resonance oscillations. To compensate voltage sags and dampen high-frequency oscillations simultaneously, an investigation of the transient response of DVR is first carried out. Possible control schemes and their effects on the oscillation attenuation are also studied. Such studied control schemes include the commonly used single voltage loop control, voltage feedback plus reference feedforward control, and double-loop control with an outer voltage loop and an inner current loop. Subsequently, an effective and simple resonance damping method is proposed by employing a closed-loop control with an embedded two-step Posicast controller. The proposed control methods have been extensively tested on a 10-kV DVR system. It is shown that the proposed damping methods improve both the transient and steady-state performance of the DVR.
