Abstract

The article introduces the Hybrid Dynamic Voltage Restorer (H-DVR), a novel FACTS device that combines series and shunt compensation to enhance distribution system performance. The H-DVR is designed to address issues such as voltage sags, short circuits, and system stability, which are increasingly problematic due to the growing use of sensitive loads. Unlike traditional DVRs, the H-DVR does not require a series injection transformer, significantly reducing costs. The authors propose an optimization technique using the Cuckoo Optimization Algorithm (COA) to determine the optimal location and size of the H-DVR in a distribution system. The study is experimented on the IEEE-123 bus test system, demonstrating substantial improvements in power quality, including reduced voltage sag, harmonic distortion, and load curtailment. The results highlight the superior performance of the H-DVR compared to traditional DVRs, making it a promising solution for modern distribution systems.
