Background: The quality of electricity is one of the main problems necessary for the normal functioning of responsible technological processes in which a slight distortion of the supply voltage can lead to a violation of the normal operation of enterprises. There are several solutions to this problem: uninterruptible power systems, fast automatic power reserve technology (FAPR), dynamic voltage distortion compensator (DVDC). The most interesting solution is the application of dynamic voltage distortion. Material and methods: The principles of constructing a dynamic voltage distortion compensator with multilevel voltage inverters are investigated. An imitation model constructed under the following assumptions is proposed: an ideal case of the main circuit system (without higher harmonics) is considered, the nonlinearity of the transformer is not taken into account, short-circuit currents are absent, only constant load power is used. Assumptions are justified by the fact that in practice their error is no more than 3-5%, which is permissible. The results are obtained by modeling the system in the MatLab 2016b package. Results: A fundamentally new structural and functional scheme of a dynamic voltage distortion compensator with a multilevel system is developed. The requirements for the dynamic compensator of voltage distortion, load, LC-filters, current-voltage transformers and a converter are determined. Simulation of the simulation model has shown that the system works and corresponds to the expected results. Conclusions: The proposed voltage compensation system will solve the problem of the normal functioning of technological processes. The simulation results showed that the declared functional of the DVDC provides compensation of the voltage level in a given range of voltage dips. The obtained results can be used to stabilize the power supply: in the power supply systems of medical institutions, electric transport, critical energy facilities of a high category.
