Power Quality Improvement of Grid Connected Wind Energy System by STATCOM-Control Scheme

Abstract

when the wind power is connected to an electrical grid effects of the power quality. The effects of power quality measurements are the active power, reactive power, variation of voltage, flickers, harmonics and electrical behavior of the switching operation. The installation of the wind turbine with grid causes power quality problems determined by studying this paper. For this static compensator (STATCOM) with a battery energy storage system (BESS) at the point of common coupling to mitigate the power quality problems. The grid connected wind energy generation system for the power quality improvement by using STATCOM control scheme is simulated using SIMULINK power system blocked set. This is relives the main supply source from the reactive power demand of the load and induction generator in this proposed scheme. The improvement in the power quality on the grid has been presented here according to the guidelines specified in IEC-61400 standard (International Electro-technical commission) provides some norms and measurements.
