Abstract


This article applies the photovoltaic PV cell system. The effect is compensated and protected sensitive equipment against balance/unbalance medium voltage Sags, through series injection of the dynamic voltage restore (DVR). The multilevel modular converter (MMC)  with the phase shift PWM algorithm for 9-level cascaded H-bridge (CHB) inverter. The power IGBT modular selection type double leg unit of the series connection with the separated dc sources PV arrays. The modeling Inphase compensated type of controller DVR, the controller  designed to have reference voltage supply 0.5 pu and injected voltage 0.5 pu. The PV cell system with the type of amorphous. The result of the controlling system contains medium voltage Sags  for distribution automation system (ADS) load rating of 25 kVA. Simulation is also conducted paralleled  along with measurements of the prototype. As a result short duration of medium voltage, which is used to test the cause of electric fault current.  This provides guideline to further analyze and improve voltage quality in electrical system pertinent to stand-alone photovoltaic system. The configuration is suitable for PV application as the PV strings operate independently and later expansion is possible, PV gird connection has been widely installed
