Switching losses in a grid connected Photovoltaic system are mitigated through the adaption of a Dynamic Voltage
Restorer (DVR) as described in this paper. Generally the issue of symmetrical and asymmetrical grid faults coupled with voltage
swell and sags are the common areas of concern in the operation of the grid. Renewable energy source, as a standby is
considered, to cater to the losses. As the system of PV generation has the multi stage rectifiers and the maximum power point
tracking, these help in registering the improvement in overall functionality of the grid. With the charging of dc link capacitor
through load side shunt rectifier, the problems of maintaining rated voltage at DVR, inability to supply active power through PV
plant, is addressed there by ensuring continuity in supply.
