INTRODUCTION
To have sustainable growth and social progress, it is necessary to meet the
energy need by utilizing the renewable energy resources like wind,
biomass, hydro, co-generation, etc.
The integration of wind energy into existing power system presents
technical challenges and that requires consideration of voltage regulation,
stability and power quality problems.
The issue of power quality is of great importance to the wind turbine.
Injection of the wind power into an electric grid affects the power quality.
Power quality problems include voltage sag, voltage surge, harmonic
distortions, etc.

The control scheme has a capability to cancel out the harmonic parts of the
load current and maintains the source voltage and current in-phase.
The proposed control scheme supports the reactive power demand for the wind
generator and load at point of common coupling (PCC) in the grid system, thus
it gives an opportunity to enhance the utilization factor of transmission line.
The Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is generally required to
compensate the fluctuation generated by wind turbine

Wind power injection into an electric grid affects the power quality due to the
fluctuation nature of the wind and the comparatively new types of its
generators.
The FACTS Device (STATCOM) control scheme for the grid connected wind
energy generation system to improve the power quality.
The intended result of the proposed scheme relives the main supply source
from the reactive power demand of the load and the induction generator.

Energy System and
Battery Storage for
Power Quality

The generated wind power can be extracted under varying wind

speed and can be stored in the batteries at low power demand.
In this scheme, inverter control is executed with hysteresis
current control mode to achieve the faster dynamic switchover for
the support of grid.
The system reduces the burden on the conventional source and
utilizes WEGS and battery storage power under load constraints.

Improving the
Dynamic
Performance of
Wind Farms with
STATCOM

The use of a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) near a wind

farm is investigated for the purpose of stabilizing the grid voltage after
grid-side disturbance such as a three phase short circuit fault.
The DC voltage at individual wind turbine inverters is also stabilized to
facilitate continuous operation of wind turbines during disturbances
The additional voltage/VAR support provided by an external device such as
a STATCOM can significantly improve the wind turbines fault recovery
by more quickly restoring voltage characteristics.

Integration of
STATCOM and

Storage

Integrated STATCOM/BESS for the improvement of dynamic and transient

stability and transmission capability; compare the performance of the
different FACTS/BESS combinations.
The STATCOM/BESS exhibits increased flexibility over the traditional
STATCOM with improved damping capabilities due to the additional
degree of control freedom provided by the active power capabilities.

STATIC COMPENSATOR (STATCOM)

STATCOM is a shunt connected reactive power compensation device that is
capable of generating and/or absorbing real and reactive power .
When operating as pure STATCOM the generated voltage is exactly in phase
with AC system voltage.
A STATCOM is a voltage source converter (VSC) based device, with the
voltage source behind a reactor. The voltage source is created from a
DC capacitor and therefore a STATCOM has very little active power
capability.
Usually a STATCOM is installed to support electricity networks that have a
poor power factor and often poor voltage regulation.

STATCOM ADVANTAGES
Continuous and dynamic voltage control.
High dynamic and very fast response time.
Requires less space as bulky passive components (such as reactors) are
eliminated.
It can be interfaced with real power sources such as battery to supply active
power.
There are no moving parts, hence requires less maintenance.
High efficiency.
Single phase control for unbalanced loads.
High reliability and availability.
