Among incidents on grids, the sag/swell voltage is considered as the most frequent incident. To solve this problem, custom power devices are used. In particular, the dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is a modern and efficient customer device. DVRs are used to mitigate voltage sag/swells and harmonics on the load bus, thus protecting the sensitive loads. The DVR is a serial compensator that applies a voltage to the point of common coupling to maintain the voltage of sensitive load at the nominal value. To improve the performance of DVRs, in this study, the control strategy of the two-stage loop circuit is implemented. The external voltage control loop uses a sequence-decoupled resonant (SDR) controller, and the inner current-control loop uses the proportional resonant (PR) controller implemented in the stationary frame αβ.
