Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is a series connected power electronics based custom power device that is used to improve voltage disturbances in low voltage electrical power distribution network. Power quality requirement is one of the most important concerns for power system. The parts of the DVR is made up of voltage source inverter, injection/booster transformer, a harmonic filter, an energy storage device and a bypass switch. The DVR is used to inject three phase voltage in series and in synchronism with the network voltages in order to compensate voltage disturbances with a benefit of active /reactive power control. This paper presents a review of the researches on the dynamic voltage restorer application for power quality improvement in low voltage electrical power distribution networks. It describes power quality issues, principle of operation of DVR, basic components of DVR, DVRs control topologies in distribution network, DVR control strategies and compensation techniques.
