Power quality is one of major concerns in the present era. It has become important, especially, with the introduction of sophisticated devices, whose performance is very sensitive to the quality of power supply. Power quality problem is an occurrence manifested as a nonstandard voltage, current or frequency that results in a failure of end use equipments. One of the major problems dealt here is the power sag. To solve this problem, custom power devices are used. One of those devices is the Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), which is the most efficient and effective modern custom power device used in power distribution networks. The dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is one of the modern devices used in distribution systems to protect consumers against sudden changes in voltage amplitude. Its appeal includes lower cost, smaller size, and its fast dynamic response to the disturbance. This paper presents m o d e l i n g , analysis and simulation of a Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) using MATLAB. In this model a PI controller and Discrete PWM pulse generator was used.
