HEES-Based IFVR for Energy-Saving Application Using DC–DC Converter

The rapid response capabilities of high-conducting electromagnetic energy storage (HEES) devices are advantageous for mitigating sudden fluctuations in voltage and power. However, the cost of HEES coils significantly exceeds that of traditional battery energy storage solutions. To enhance the efficiency of energy use and diminish the costs associated with energy storage across multiline power distribution systems, this study presents an innovative approach involving an interline dc flexible voltage restorer (IFVR) configuration. This approach utilizes a single HEES coil connected to several compensating circuits. The innovation introduces a current–voltage (V–I) chopper assembly with multiple input/output power connections, enabling the connection of one HEES coil to various power lines. This setup ensures the independent management of energy exchanges for any compensated line. Importantly, when multiple power lines require compensation simultaneously, the HEES coil can be selectively activated to prioritize compensation based on the designated order of importance of the lines. The practicality of this method is confirmed through technical verification, demonstrating its ability to sustain transient voltage stability during voltage increases and decreases on multiple lines. These scenarios may arise from fluctuations in output voltage from power external supplies or variations in load demand from locally connected loads.
